The Deception... a brief poem

in #poetry6 years ago

We have heard, you take in the tired, the weak, Wait, what did you say
You're taking our children and locking them away?
That wasn't on the brochures we read, when deciding on coming here
They are our hearts and our souls, what we hold dear.

Locking them in cages,like animals and put on as a display
Saying it will be a deterent for others who want to sneak in this way
Some going to tents, and some haven't been seen since taken from loving arms
Telling the world not to worry, they will not come to any harms

You say the borders are over flowing with filth, killers, and with crooks,
Rapists and felons whose names you say you have on your books.
Sadly we refugess get thrown into the same of those who even we detest
We came here from sadness,and poverty, to try to be our very best.

Each day we sit and wonder where have our dear children been taken
Never thought when we arrived, that we, and them, would be forsaken
Using them as pawns, so you may build your big wall
Ransoming these innocent children, we hope will be your downfall.

Whats that you say, you're signing and executive order
To stop stealing children from parents when they arrive at your border?
A little too late, don't you think, even after your daughter kissed your ass
For something you shouldn't have done in the first place, yet this too shall pass.

When the haze of this great misery and deception finally might clear
The shouts of those lost, may their voices be loud that we hear.
For this shouldn't have happened, and may it never again be done
Let us all stand strong, and free and all live as one.

There is a humane way to do things, and a not-so-humane way. It is unconscionable, the manner in which we conduct ourselves sometimes, despite our pride in being a "civilized" nation. This matter can definitely be handled without separating families. Thank you for your thoughts and highlighting this topic.

Look its real simple there is no gray area.

If you come into this country illegally CYA! When you immigrate here there is a process follow that process or get the hell out. My grandparents followed the immigration laws these people can as well.

Sending people away is one thing, but to rip a child from a mothers arms and put them in cages with aluminum blankets? Absolutely inhumane.

well, sadly it still is going to happen, and when it does, you do not treat children as caged animals...
