Mr. Caucasians was pleased
Friends, neighbors, failed to call us American

Were told,
It was easy to leave our home
to have our life packed away

Families aging in the dust
Hope caught in the barbed wire

Mr. Caucasians, the police, the government,
Lost our freedom in storage

About the Japanese Internment camps during WW2.
