Mr President Words Matter

Mr President?
Words matter
?your words matter
your words of hate
?your words of division
your words
?calling fellow human beings?
scum,

 vermin, 

criminals

invaders 

rapists,

 murderers

sub-humans invaders

who are infesting 

our borders

words matter 
they matter a lot?

and is it little wonder
?that people listen?
to the hate you 
gleefully spew forth

and some deranged people?
take action
?on your call
?for action

against the invaders
?on the border
?they march 
to the border
?to kill the invaders

your words matter
?Mr. President
?and your false 
words ?of regret

fool no one?
the damage has been done?
the hate has been spread
?just as you intended

and you? have the gall
?to call yourself
?A Christian

you are the anti-Christ
?you are not a Christian
?so please quite pretending
?to be what you are not

please man up
?accept your responsibility
?set things right

?apologize

the dead though
?don’t need your prayers
?they need action?
they need leadership

and you are the president?
so please start acting
?like you give a damn

and if you do so?
perhaps?you will find
?people will follow you

but please?
quite the words
?of hate
?the words that hurt

and quit calling
 immigrants ?invaders 
and vermin

?they are human beings
?they are deserving of respect

this I ask of you
?In Jesus’s name
?even though I am not a Christian
and neither are you!

note: this may be too political and in your face but I don't care. I have had enough of this nonsense. We must stop the carnage in our streets!
