I wrote this poem in honor of all races how have ever suffered pregidest. But it is espiecally to people like me who have a disability and have suffered the sorn of others. THis is of those people. Oh and in this I use policaly incorrect terms just to drive a point home of how people were called in historical reference.
We came to this country long ago
On cursed ships cros the stormy sea
To them we were simply cargo
In cold iron braclets, we longed to be free
Forced to work the land as slaves
Our suffering came in waves
We were hated for our color
Our island once was blessed, but not anymore
They came to change our way of life
With famin and black fever claiming scores
Here we sought refuge but got only strife
We were spat on, kicked and punch in the eye
And everywhere we saw 'No Irish need Apply'
We were hated for our culture
We came to this country for jobs
So they gave us what no one else would do
Layin' down track for rich fat slobs
We lost many when the railroad was through
Still we were not welcome in this land
They did not trust a yellow china man
We were hated for our race
For milleniums we've been dispised by society
Considered to be inferior the weak link
And never are we seen for our intierty
But what society makes them think
They say we're ignorent, and misunderstood
If they'd listen to us we could do some good
We were hated for our disabilities
All of us are different but also the same
We were all hated no metter what our name
