In response to class, students were tasked with creating an expression of immigration and culture through art. Here is what we produced:
Working From Morning Til' Night
By Ming:
Working from morning til night,
Barely rest,
We work harder but we earn less money,
We do the jobs that the people would not do,
This is an American dream.
People
By Suzanne:
Some people spread their wings to fly,
Others just wait in the cage rather than be un-free,
Some don’t care, and some will fight till the end (if there really is),
This is the definition to human beings,
All the same,
The commons that have
Emotions,
Thoughts to this and that,
Feelings to show or hide,
Motions to describe the emotions,
All the same because from how we are created,
From mommy’s stomach
But we are all different which makes us unique and not boring or dull,
But sometimes we just don’t know how much we should appreciate to what we are given,
Life, to begin a journey
Family, to know what caring and loving is
Education, to learn things never set towards our minds before
Look, to see for ourselves
Knowledge, to learn and the past
However, since we think differently,
Our reactions will too,
But it is up to us to show the rights from the wrongs to surrounding,
That is if however hard it is, we will be ourselves to the end,
For that is what is suppose to be
Created.
