There are so many bad people in my town.
They deprive us of
basic things we need to buy
for our children.
Food.
*
They burn our cars.
They burn our businesses.
They make our children:
afraid to go to school
afraid to play outside
afraid to walk home from school.
These bad people do not respect us.
They do not respect our children.
Worse:
They do evil things to our children.
*
Our children are
scared, fearful, afraid.
They cry.
*
I do not want to be locked up with my children.
I feel only fear.
I am here for a better future.
for my family
for my children
for me.
We came here to be safe.
