Screen Background Poems | Examples


Un-Welcome To America

He welcomed them with open arms
and now their flowing in
No ID,  Health screen, Background checks
and they're bringing all their "kin"

Two to three day holding stage
then send them on their way
Give them Future Hearing dates
they "Vanish" in a day

     Divided  United

Quietly they're "shipped around"
on (Contract charter fare)
States aren't told, (they sneak them in)
there's sickness in the air

Measles, TB, Viruses
Spreading all around
Whooping cough and Rampant Lice
just some of what's been found

Bringing those with Criminal pasts
What crimes?  They will not say
We checked them all, and they are clean
"Trust us, they're okay"

Clearing Stations, Holding Centers
Food and Clothing Free
Did we open Doomsday Gates
and we're too blind to see?

In the Southwest border towns
north of Rio Grand
The Residents and Land Owners
not allowed to make a stand

But "Uncle Sam" with kind, kind heart
knows how to treat our "Guests"
Give them all a "Welfare Check"
since (BHO) knows best

This doesn't faze our Government
they're blind to what is true
no matter what the "Voters" want
they don't see "Red, White, Blue"
