A Good Day To Cry

President Trump,
a master at the deceptive art of lying;
says he is going to build a wall
along the Colorado River; that's true.
But it's a cruel endgame
that will be devastating for immigrants
seeking asylum;
risking their lives for freedom;
scared, alone, and confused.
It is such a heartbreak to see
the sadness of a child
reflected in the eyes of its mother;
as they try to escape persecution,
crossing the river anyway they can.
What gets my ire going is
there's little genuine compassion
in this so-called Christian Nation.
And though I remain hopeful,
I fear there never will be;
it feels like a good day to cry.
