persontrophyPeople of the SuitcaseA country is a schoolIf you're new you don't fit inDon't have my books, is this my classNo one likes to start again At home we eat different foodLoosely translated ingredientsNobody's been close since we movedBut we'll make newer friends Because one thing's trueYou brought your hate along with youBecause you're a bigot tooAs for me, so not for you Kick the ladder once you climbYour card's greener on the other sideYour American right not to empathizeYet it could still be you another time They don't have a roofChased by storms, war, illnessA child's cries to sootheYour burden is but to witness Hate is the mother of every foolBut you were tasked with belongingFor more hate there's always roomHoping your accent will be forgiven Because one thing's trueYou brought your hate along with youBecause you're a bigot tooAs for me, so not for you When you close your eyesYou know it isn't rightBut you compartmentalizeTell yourself you believe his lies God's mercy was provedAs you packed your suitcaseTo you they're animals in a zooEven if one has your own face
