My Message To Trump
You say a word and set the world aflame
No thought to what the nations think or feel
The turmoil that we're in is not a game
I wish that you'd think twice before you deal
You are the leader of the USA
the super power here, the number one!
Yet you won't try to filter what you say
If you don't tone it down, your term is done!
Your daily twitter rants are full of rage
The nations quake and shake at what they read
that "sh$thole countries" comment, was that sage?
You shame your rank in word and yes, in deed
From day to day you change your tune and line
The walls you build are not the border kind
Supremacists act out; you give the sign
You've built divisive walls; to this you're blind!
I fear for what the future has in store
As missiles are at ready, hearts grow weak
You need to change your ways, do so much more
embrace the wisdom from outside your clique
Is there still time to turn our fate around?
Why don’t you make amends and speak of peace?
For black and yellow, red and white abound
Acknowledge all and let the tensions cease
Remember labels don’t define a soul
We are all equal, God has made it so
So stop the hate and make your nation whole
The world is watching, show that you can grow.
