Manzanar in 1943 |
this became home to 110,000 people, it's was a shame, what can I say;
put behind wire to wait out a war, Japanese Americas who lost it all,
because of their ancestry, their property seized, FDR made the call.
So here we are out in the desert sand,
just to remember what once was on this land,
a huge mistake that America made, it was a bad day,
when American citizens were locked away.
