- A Balagan
A balagan is what it is, Trump’s jailing of the kids
A Yiddish word for mixed-up mess or situations worse
A task force has been formed to figure
How to bring them back together
It’s uncertain when or whether,
Since the problem’s grown much bigger
Some three thousand children scattered; all with records poor,
To reunite not with their parents but with distant kin
In Trump’s concocted zero scheme to steal their kids away
Away from parents seeking freedom, fleeing for their lives
There were no plans to reunite
The children with their families
That way it’d be a great deterrent
Seen as something so abhorrent
‘Twould reduce the infestation of these insects from their hives
And now their kids are scattered o’er the country here to stay
This tragedy is real, ongoing, fugitives and orphaned kids
Trump has succeeded in one goal: the situation is abhorrent
Doubts I have if they’ll remember
This deliberate travesty
When voting time comes in November
Trump devoid of empathy
Or will they open eyes and ears to witness news inerrant
Trump’s loyal base, what will it take to learn just what Trump did?
