Five thousand migrants caravanning north through Mexico
Five thousand individuals who’re just like you and me
All desperately escaping murder gangs, propelled to go
Because of gross atrocities, for life they had to flee
Honduras, Guatemala, state regimes corrupt throughout
Their governess in chaos, gang-rule reigns out on the street
Intimidation: join or die; these threats reveal their clout
It’s forced mass emigration; families voting with their feet
It’s reminiscent of some five and eighty years ago
Fleeing Nazis, Jews by thousands being turned away
And forced back in their mortal danger, nowhere left to go
Soon history will repeat itself if Donald has his way
Five thousand’s not beyond what I.C.E. could handle readily
Instead Trump wants his base fired up; midterm’s just days away
He treats them like the Huns invading, gaining steadily
If he can cause their plight more pain perhaps away they’ll stay
But if the Dems can wrest control, at least the House take back
Pres. Trump would see his ratings drop and certainly take note
That working more with Democrats his ratings might gain track
To help these desperate migrants, reason more for Dems to vote
