immigrants in our own land

This poem really got my attention. Coming from an immigrant family, it touched my heart because it gets me thinking of how life could've been different and how hard life must have been for my parents coming to a new land without knowing how they were going to come out. Then in a lot of the stanzas, the poet sort of starts off speaking in a general way which makes me think of coming to America and then he gets more specific with his wording and I'm like whoa- he's talking about being in jail and he's pretty much comparing the two and their similarities. I especially enjoyed the last stanza because he gives this overlook on life and how it'll be in the end and it gives that sense of realism we all like to hear.
