The Ban

Immigrants –Oh no!
Nor Native Americans;
We came as cargo.

The ban; be aware:
They are back.  Look out!
They still do not care.

You may sigh and pause;
But remember their slicked ploy:
The Grandfather Clause!


You have a passport;
But with the stroke of a pen,
That can be revoked.

This could be the end,
Or could be the beginning;
Depends on you kin.

Notice the ban list.
No European countries;
Africa not missed.

I just could be wrong,
But remember history.
It’s best to be strong.
