"You shall not wrong a stranger or oppress him, for you were strangers in Egypt,"
In that famous book
In the Exodus chapter.
He also said,
"Provide the poor wanderer with shelter,"
In that famous book
In the Isaiah chapter.
He reiterated,
"You shall treat strangers as the natives among you,"
In that famous book
In the Leviticus chapter.
Jesus said,
"I was a stranger, and you welcomed me,"
In that famous book
In the Matthew chapter.
Emma Lazarus said,
"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."
It's written on the Statue of Liberty.
A Texas man
Who claims to love that famous book,
Unhumbled by his own meeting with Death,
Said from his wheelchair,
"Drown, Norlan Bayardo Herrera."
And he drowned.
Twenty years old.
Murdered by Greg Abbott.
Say his name.
