A Sad State of Affairs

I abhor the bigotry and brutality
that is applied to southern refugees
seeking asylum in the United States.
Diversity has been, and continues to be,
a beneficial component of any nation.
Children ripped from their mother's arms;
burns in my heart and consumes my soul.
Such brutality is hell for any child
exposed to such trauma, leaving a permanent scar.
This sad state of affairs
shouts of abuse, false flags, and hatred;
chipping at the very foundations of Christian values.
America struggles with feelings of hate and fear,
emotions that threaten to tear it apart.
The hopelessness, confusion, horror,
and sacrifice of these immigrants
should be revealed for all to see.
The border is crossed by mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters
seeking freedoms they can only dream about,
and the politics of the day are losing sight of that.
I'm disappointed that some choose to forget
immigrants founded their country.
They have no charity or pity
for those fleeing tyranny.
Their sense of compassion and justice
no longer exists; it is dearly missed.
