My World
My world
In my world I want to see people
Being nice to
Each other
In my world
I want to my my family
To stay
Together
In my world, I want my family not being deported
Back to Mexico
In my world I want
Mexicans being treated
The same way as
Americans
In my world I want equal rights for
Mexicans
In my world I want no more of my family members
To die
In my world I want to stay in a restaurant
Without being kicked out
-Emily Rios
