Murdered in the Promised Land


Sacrificing Their Lives to Work


"We are citizens of heaven"
Yet undocumented on earth
Crossing the dessert with coyotes,
Clutching empty water bottles and hope

We come from Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, across the fence
Saving for food carts and modest plots of land

Finally reached Los Estados Unidos
Massacred by Los Zatos
Murdered in the Promised Land
