This poem is from one of the migrant families talking about the theme fear. It explores the hardships they have gone through and how they evolved to eventually remake a lost community. How after losing everything they were able to share their stories and make a new community throughout the road trip to California.
Fear
We were forced off our lands
To take our things
To move along
We were forced to fear
and go out there
and face the world
We moved along the dirty road
not knowing were
not knowing how
We learned to share
what little we had
what we didn't have
We learned to live
to share our sadness
to share our fear
