English As A Second Language
Written By David S Theroff
January 2003
Every morning he goes with his mom
Not sure what its all about
He gets there and see's everyone smile at him
Can't understand a word they say
He gets home and asks why they don't understand
His dad just shrugs and says he'll learn
He cry's to his mom, that no one likes him
Mom just hugs him and says it will be alright
His school sends homework home with him
His parents can't read what it says
He is abandoned to learn on his own
This new teacher is his only hope
This little one needs to raise himself
No one to explain the world to him
He lives a life like his parents before
He'' raise his kids much the same
He'll never feel like he fits in this place
An outcast before he had a chance
He won't seem like one of us
He'll complain of rights he thinks he does not have
