RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: MASS DEPORTATION
Venezuelan Refugees
Sending refugees to prison in El Salvador
A level of depravity rarely seen
Even in the lowest dream
Like jailing people for being poor
What else would we do?
Are there any limitations?
Have we become a heartless nation?
We have lost our moral grounding
It is pitiful and yet it’s true
Our cruelty is astounding
Some would say it’s nothing new
They are fleeing from oppression
As we encouraged them to do
We would teach them all a lesson
But we failed to see it through
Now we tell them you’re not welcome here
You’re not welcome anywhere
We condemn you to a life of fear
Though we know it is not fair
This is not the old America
The one you knew and loved
This is the hateful nation
The hawk without the dove
(Trump administration ships Venezuelan
refugees to prison in El Salvador.)
