The Immigrant Zombie

Immigration to another country 

in desperation we flee

what happened to the land 

that the earth allotted to me?

I am supposed to survive 

in my country

with all the amenities

you enjoy in your country

The greed of some

who have taken more than

what is given

to all equally

Created a lack for others

they cannot enjoy

a life with dignity 

Do not be greedy

forgive yourself and see

that the consequence outflow 

is massive in degree

Unequal distribution

we do not have a solution

but to flee to another country

who has more 

in terms of jobs, health care

 and social security

We do not have much of this 

in our country

The multinational companies

build a business in my country

to extract energy from the sea

to earn more money you see

Then donates to the unfortunate

to make up for making money from the 

earth's resource 

we call the sea

They made sure the guilt will not be felt

they got the media to take pictures

 to make it look

as if its good

then provide food for the guests

pictures taken

the guilt disappears

Some leaders hide their face 

and take the money in secret

given by these businesses

It never reached the poor

the pocket is still empty

when they closed the door

and allegedly took the money

They took them to jail

and they call this the solution

I say No

repair it from the source

for tomorrow 

someone will do the same 

and the problem will 

be a vicious cycle

It will be inherited 

by the next generation

and the solution 

will not be known

Because the band-aid was on

no one can see the wound

they layered the band-aid  

now it turned into a cancer

that multiplies uncontrollably

in the country's body

They try to put another leader

hoping to fix the cancer

another band-aid was provided

and now they say

he has balls

Unknowingly creating 

the same cancer as before

the whole body

as a whole 

gasps for breath 

like a living dead

A zombie

 alive but dead

when the body's life force

is absent

Walking here equally 

enjoying each others company

that is the life force of society

take them away and you will be 

an immigrant zombie

You migrate to another country

to ask for a job

so you can survive

the same company 

that took energy from your country's sea

will be giving you charity

help for the poor zombie

who now wears a smile 

because he's got lots of money

education plus a job

savings to give his family

making up for the loneliness

of being separated from the group 

who watched you grow

and stand on your own

lulling you to sleep when you were born

now everyone is happy

they celebrate and jump in glee

they call this the solution

but i ask myself

is this really?

what about the cancer 

that is the consequence 

outflow of not taking responsibility

to give your country

a living income guarantee

plus an incentive to work for more 

when needed by the people

so they will not migrate for money

to live in dignity

in their own country

wearing nice clothes 

and shoes

eating food that is delicious

they walk with grace 

smile brimming on their face

money in their pockets

they've got certificates

but deep within

they are dying

like a zombie that is smiling

only they cannot see

 they are the immigrant zombie

they ask help from the zombie hierarchy

to survive in another zombie country

where the living dead 

celebrates its joys

with money aplenty

the zombie hierarchy in another country

employs the immigrant zombie

and gives them money for they too 

needs an employee

they take advantage of each other you see

then they say

you got your education 

you look able so come and work for me

that way we will enjoy 

each other's company

for I have helped you and you have helped me

we are brothers and sisters 

who care

don't you see?

But i disagree

this is self-diminishment you see

I say no, thank you

I will take my life back

I do not want to be the living dead

how can we enjoy each other 

when I am an immigrant zombie

in your country

and you are in a zombie hierarchy

we do not even know

that this is a consequence outflow

and not the solution that we say so

to be content and call this happiness

isn't rightfully so

this is self-diminishment

in disguise you see

we have to hit rock bottom

to bring life to the zombie 

and see the illusion

 self-forgive

have an intimate moment

with yourself

then when you are ready  

to be reborn

and see that the solution 

is standing for what is best for all

rejoice and celebrate

for you have seen the real solution

Living income guaranteed

for dignified life to be restored

do not pretend to help

when you cannot give ones equal share

that amount of money you give 

is alms for the poor 

do not call it help

for it isn't so

it is out of pity 

because of the superiority

and inferiority in society

this HEL-l in Peoples lives

we should turn

to be the HEL-ipad  

a P-latform where we see each other 

as equals

we are a part of this one life 

zombies we are not

we are the breath in this body

in awareness we should move our body 

do not forget that walking as equals

 is the solution that we seek

do not give it up

do not diminish yourself

pull yourself up

take your life back

do not be the living dead

you are here as part of this one life

be the helipad - the platform where we equally stand 

UNW-RAP the TRAP
