Donald Trump is just as clear as can be
Immigrant children must be caged, not free!
Trump wants them all whipped
Before they are shipped 
But "not on my watch" ruled Judge Dolly Gee!...

Trump Really Recalcitrant

Not pertaining to Trump is irrelevant;
He was mad and became recalcitrant,
Brain oblique;
Likes to leak,
And ignores  if you are an immigrant.

Immigrant bodies pile up in Texas

After building a wall from ‘freedom’ glass

Green card for hard labour

Slave on dearest neighbour

Watch your companions expire en masse

Immigrant sweat, in the noonday sun, hammered out miles of track.

The masterpiece of human ingenuity forever rolls.

IMMIGRANT
I always remember that I am an immigrant
I believe you are always innocent
Life is sometimes boring, sometimes magnificent
Are you thinking everything is imminent

'Your goose is cooked'
  I told Azizi
"My what is what?"
  He questioned me

'Your goose is cooked'
  softly repeated
Azizi frowned
  He looked defeated

I wondered why
  he couldn't see
his goose in my oven
  of transparency...

Caught in the time between eternity
and non existent.
I live in imagination's tender grasp.
An illegal immigrant.
I don't belong here in this bliss.
I don't deserve a feeling like this.
Impulsively I glance down . . .
The fire 
Is real....

little you know an immigrant 
coming at age twenty fully educated at not a cost to you
learn the language and save mount of dollars to clean your floors

not written in stone if only you could see  the suffering...

At five of the clock an immigrant species from the Raj speaks,

"woort tooo - teee tau", a grey maharajah on our hopper window 

waking us up to another sunny, hot English summer's day we dream about

or have nightmares as is our want; remembering or misremembering our childhoods....

let freedom ring in every thought
for love of country and what it costs
waving strong, red, white and blue
in every heart, the colors wave true

bring me your tired, your hungry, your meek
every immigrant who asylum seeks
from coast to coast this anthem sings
in every heart let freedom ring...

The murder get due process
The rapist get due process
The predator get due process
But an illegal immigrant cannot 
get due process
Where is the justice

Have we become a
Nation of lawless
People

of force immigrants
Slaves
Help the people who "want" to be here...

Despair Not Fair and Everywhere


Disruption and disobedience were in despair;
Wondering why God did not appear to be fair;
Poorly painted,
And tainted;
Misery and suffering would exist everywhere.

Jim Horn

Here we are just after Christmas and a poor
immigrant child died. Wonder what will be 
next....

TENACIOUS BONDS
Stashed for years in between pages now yellow
Hordes of dry brown leaves slithered out, mellow

Filling air with balmy scent and familiar rustle
of distant shores, threw immigrant couple in disarray
A call from yonder rooted in lands faraway

Ernesto
Immigrant, friend, poet, dreamer
Native son of Solano, Nueva Vizcaya
Lover of haiku, senryu and chicken barbecue
I feel happy, with my life; sad, when one’s loss; angry, when betrayed
I fear snakes, dark, and crowded places
I would like to visit Canada, America and Australia
Legal resident of Athens, Greece

Much time two women had spent;
Problems possessed by immigrant;
Good looking lasses,
In aviator glasses,
And they never had to live in a tent.

Jim Horn

Fox News Female Reporter who wore
