Who Left Them In Charge

by Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozabal / April 7th, 2024

They toy with our lives.
Poke fun at our language.
I see them laughing.
I hear them laughing.
Who left them in charge?
They are always in charge.
I always see them on tv
for decades and decades.
Is there no stopping them?
I see them smiling.
They are laughing at us.
They call us names.
Only time can stop them.
But they have grown clones.
We see the clones take their places.
They are really obnoxious
as they talk of deportation.
