A nation of arrogant immigrants

Let me preface this entry by saying that I wrote this one day after having spend some time trying to renew my green card that I had managed to misplace.


I slept her last night in front of the INS
on the hard concrete in the cold no less
this nation if full of immigrants
but treats newcomers with zeal
their ignorance or perhaps arrogance
they don't care to see
night after night three hundred to four hundred line up around the block
some of them like me have been here since last night eight o' clock
people that got here at four have been waiting ever since
it is six now shamefully at four today they won' t have gotten in
people all around me have told me they
take usually at most 50 a day
Is it me or would make sense to change this operation in some way
the people here are nice enough they are just doing their job
its those members of Congress that were elected that sit right on top
they have the power to create change
but would they bother
I can't vote and neither can you
so our concerns don't matter...
