Based on the following prompt: Prompt # 14
NaPoWriMo 2019 Day 14
Tell me why you prey
On their swollen tongues,
On migrants who emigrated
So they could immigrate here
Along a torturous tortuous road
Away from elusive illusions
When you can’t write the difference
Between epitaph and epithet
Or envy and jealousy
Or accept and except-
I’m alluding to the truth that eludes you-
We’re a parody of parity
Asking them to speak our language
Without first knowing and owning our own
