This poem comes from the perspective of a Californian who doesn't want people migrating to his state. This poem explores the hatred and where it stems from and also of what they will do to the Oklahomans.
Why is it that they come?
So many of them
Some have stayed and others leave
Why are they here,
Did they come for the Jobs?
They must know there are none left
I barely have one and i need it
My neighbors need it
My kin need it
They don't need it
Those Oklahomans, those Okies
They don't belong here
We can't have them taking our jobs
We gotta get rid of those Okies
And so my Kin
My Neighbor
Come to me so as we can rid our land of these people
The Oklahomans
