<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mississippi singer-songwriter and lawyer Mike Massey has an important story to tell. His emotional song &#8220;Pedro&#8221; shares a glimpse into the life of an undocumented meatpacking plant worker who came to America in search of a new life. The song tells the story of working hard to make a low wage while being a father, to eventually being taken away from his wife and kids by ICE to return to Mexico. Mike Massey, who is father himself, sings from Pedro&#8217;s point of view throughout the song. The emotion comes across greatly through the track. It could bring you to tears.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is a story from many years ago but it&#8217;s a story that is still actively happening in the United States where families are being separated due to xenophobia and deportation while they are searching for the American dream, &#8220;a better life.&#8221; The song brings empathy to our undocumented brothers and sisters who deserve all the same things that American-born citizens have. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The song features beautiful acoustic guitars. Listen to the story on Spotify now: </p>
