THIS time an
eight-year-old child.
You'd have to be an
unsympathetic
And cold-hearted
person not to be riled.
Little Felipe Gómez
Alonzo
Died near the border
on Christmas Eve.
The Guatemalan
child's death
Leaves another
family bereaved.
Representative Peter
King
In an interview
brushed aside
The pain and
seriousness and said
ONLY TWO children
have died.
ONLY TWO? And why?
Because
The Trump admin is
changing the ways
Asylum seekers apply
for refuge
With obstacles and
major delays.
Closing the ports of
entry and making
Families find
alternate routes
Through dangerous
areas to plead their cases
Has shocked the
world and raised many doubts.
Trump and his staff
are experts at how to
Manipulate his base
with lies--
To turn the public
against the very
People they
dehumanize.
The Grand Deceiver
claims a wall
Will solve our
system of immigration.
Though ludicrous,
the wall, he says,
Will be our only hope of
salvation.
He lashes out
through foolish tweets,
Childish tantrums,
and angry threats,
Blasting dissenters
and passing blame
Without compunction,
with no regrets.
Asylum seekers
who've brought their children…
Did they ever anticipate
That they'd flee
death to find it here
In a sad, ironic
twist of fate.
