Notes About The Poem

It is sad this poem had to be written.

Poison

Poison


Division
Fear
locking children in camps
a leader who leads this way
his sheep follow with red caps
covering their hearts

in white
covering their faces

in black
is their hatred

ISIS
MAGA
both four letter words
honor a lost concept

Years ago
a man once said
"we are the world
we are the people"

Now all you hear, is
USA USA USA USA
Third world rhetoric
on display

What a clever poem Arthur. Trump needs to reverse some of his ghastly policies,plans/actions he has put into place and Make America Great Again. I just wonder if he carries on as he is, what his logo/swastika will one day reveal to the world! Beautifully penned! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
