The holocaust was not so many years ago
Our sentencing those refugees to death
By turning back those ships back to their fate
A memory of national disgrace
Let’s not forget
Now Trump has issued orders odious
He’s banning refugees from war-torn states
And cities where the living is untenable
This is another national disgrace
For shame, for shame
Is this the greatness to which Trump aspires
Disguising it as keeping terror out?
Of all the Middle Eastern states he banned
No citizen has terrorized us yet
Our greatness dimmed
Trump’s paranoia threatens us in many ways
The self-deluded world in which he lives
Where he decides what’s real and what is not
Has sealed the fate of desperate refugees
And damaged us

Thanks very nice blog!
A nation of immigrants living in fear
Lady Liberty sheds a tear.
I was speaking to some of my students’ mothers just today about Roosevelt’s decision during WW2 not to accept the ship with Jewish refugees and how they had to turn around and go back to Europe where they were murdered. Doesn’t anyone know history? I get sick to my stomach listening to this 4th grade idiot president signing his horrific executive orders.
