Tom Mcmurray Poet Ballad

Dark Angels Straight From Hell

To find out how we did arrive
At where we are today,
Review the past, keep it alive,
The truth will come your way.

The immigration laws of old
Were race based bigotry.
Caucasian countries fit our mold
Of white suprmacy.

But countries filled with darker skin
Had no priority,
We would not let too many in
Our white majority.

They did not want the darker hordes
To immigrate this way,
And threaten Anglo-Saxon cords
Most thought were here to stay.

A few good leaders read the law,
In nineteen sixty-three,
And found no bueracratic flaw,
Just racist history.

So better angels took control
To end discrepency;
Each country got an equal toll:
Propotionality. 

Today the darker angels rule
To bring back bigotry.
The laws are now insanely cruel,
In their iniquity.

A child will cry in need tonight,
In some detention cell.
Its mother wonders why this  plight?
Dark Angels straight from hell.
