"God Bless the Child" is a short poem by Karl Jones.
God Bless the American
When the Somali people began moving to the Twin Cities
I heard complaints that "They come here poor but they all drive new cars"
And indeed I saw a small number of very nice SUV's driven by these new Americans
Somalis pool their resources and act collectively, for the good of the family and village
Pity us, poor Americans, chasing a chicken in every pot and an SUV in every garage
God Bless the American who's got his own, he's got his own
(Apologies to Billie Holiday.)
