Time for One More of Fiorella's Meaningful Poems?


 

 

 

This poem was written during the Trump regime, but can apply anytime, unfortunately....

 

   America, bow your head in shame

Ethnic cleansing is the name of the game--


   Clear out the black, the yellow, the brown

Run gays and their kindred out of town

Ridicule the halt, the blind, the lame

And do unto those who sorrow the same

Jail the actors, the artists, the press

Silence the women and make them a jest

Reject the migrants or throw them in jail

Allow graft and cronyism to prevail


   In short, go after anyone who

Doesn't talk or think or look like you--

An automaton of self-fed hate

Which no force on earth can ameliorate

                              ***
