America First

I live in the United States of America

The greatest country in the world

We are the best in everything we do

But we are in a crisis

I used to live in Darayya Syria, a suburb of Damascus

It was a beautiful place with great people

Everyone worked hard in everything they did

But we are in a crisis

America has an immigration crisis

We are being infiltrated by criminals, rapists, and murderers

Syria has a humanitarian crisis

We are being slaughtered and beaten by the ones we once trusted

We cannot let these people in

They are going to take what is ours

I need to leave this wretched land

I don’t need much, I just ask for safety

These intruders are going to destroy our home

I want to come to the land of opportunity so I can live in peace

These terrorists are taking what is rightfully ours

I’m a father of three and worked as doctor back in Syria

They don’t deserve to be in our great country

I want to be apart of the American dream

How dare they think they can be one of us

When they were raised in the hands of heathens

I left everything in hope of asylum

They can go anywhere else

The only door open is the land of the free

They will put a stain on our beloved homeland

I will clean any injustice I see

What problems do they have?

I’m lucky. I made it out before the doors shut

I lost my coal mining job

I am fortunate to have found a refugee camp in Jordan

I’ve been unemployed for 3 years

My wife was murdered

I only have a one story house

They gave us a whole room for my family

Luckily we have a man who will open the doors for us

Unfortunately, there is a man who thinks he knows all

Who does what he wants

Without a worry in who gets locked out

Thank God we have a man listening to our demands

Keeping out what doesn’t belong

I don’t understand why they are locking the doors

And throwing the keys away

We will keep America safe

We have done everything in the pursuit of America

They are confusing us with dissident rebels

They are all dangerous and hateful

We are peaceful

The terrorists use the Muslim faith as a guise to excuse their actions

All immigrants are trying to destroy America

We are escaping destruction and

Fighting for a new life

If we keep them out

We will be safe

We need to keep them out

Please let us in
