Mexican Slam

By Juan Ayala
Pioneer Charter School

I’m not a wetback get that fact straight.

We ain’t meant to get judged

because were no game

if we cross the border we come for a better life.

We do it so that we can be somebody in life

were talking about architects, and engineers.

We also have hard working parents

that have some serious jobs.

We’re not talking about cleaning houses

we are talking about moms that have to earn money by prostituting them selves

In order for their kids to have a better

life

So, quit saying that we are wetbacks

because let’s face it

we are all immigrants.

This poem makes me...
