Inhumane Cruelty
It's disgraceful that migrant families
are being indefinitely housed
at southern detention facilities
that reek of urine and feces.
These people are human beings!
It's unconscionable that ICE officers tear them
apart with no plans to ever reunite them,
put them in cages to sleep in their own filth.
History will not look back fondly on
the Trump administration for this atrocity
We'll never forget that little girl crying
after being ripped out of her mother's arm
at the border. Let's call a spade a spade.
This is cruelly unAmerican. It's child abuse,
if not kidnapping. Regardless of our race...
or what name we call our God
or which side we lean on politically
or what side of the railroad track we hail from
Wrong is wrong; we should all be outraged...
by this inhuman cruelty!
