There's a Cat On My Porch

There's a Cat on my Porch! There's a cat on my porch, and I don't know its name For we aren't well acquainted, perhaps it's not tame, But I've seen it before when it triggers alarms On my new TV doorbell. No wall! Is there harm In a guest seeking shelter, that's worthy or not, To give a cat respite's not asking a lot! There are folks now that camp on our borders as well, And to hear Trump describe them, they're guilty as hell Of gross crimes, misdemeanors, and well past the 'pale' Of what Trump sees as virtues, deserving of jail! Or could 'pale' mean skin color, aren't slaves still OK, And more rapeable women you don't have to pay? Though your God kills unborn, must the doctors be stopped Who provide painless end to life none will adopt? You who sanction the death of a stray dog or cat, Who will even pay cash to set traps for a rat, When Trump steals from the poor and gives gifts to the rich, Would the world not improve with trash dumped in a ditch? Yes, I'm hoping for prison for Trump and his clan, But for foolish Conservatives, no one should ban Them for "fake news" and Communist lies others wrought, Please, dear God, grant us mercy and possibly thought, Fresh humility shame us for greed we express, And by Grace, Christ still offer all heaven's access!
