No answer.

The same tolling questions are
uttered out of my pale white lips everyday.
My voice monotone like a metronome ticking monotonously.
Controlling everyone that steps through
the gate of my country.
Only some may enter.

I tear families apart.
I create tears.
I notice their torn clothing.

Everyday the same.

Yes sir.
Well. No issues.
July 4th recognized the independence of America.
For a job sir, I want to be a doctor.

 


The future of our country is in my hands.
