Brown-Girl Holocaust

Word on the street:
Are you legal or illegal?

They will look at our brown skin
ask if we have papers
I am a couple years younger than
Ann Frank when she wrote about
her life during World War II,
the Holocaust

In World War III,
there will not be
little girls’ memories written
They won’t ask if we are Jews
They won’t tattoo our parents arm with their “A” number

Word on the street:
Are you legal or illegal?

What are you looking for?
