RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: MASS DEPORTATION
MacArthur Park
The day the troops came to LA
The images are stark
They did not come to play
When they stormed MacArthur Park
They came for those with darker skin
The workers of the sun
I doubt that they will come again
The summer has begun
We need the workers in the fields
We need them in our homes
It seems the soldiers made a deal
The nation sold their souls
The people all around the land
Have made their feelings clear
In case you did not understand
You are not welcome here
If you serve a cause that’s just and fair
We would not need to ask
If you were welcomed anywhere
Why do you wear a mask?
