white woman takes on politics

There are some who want the wall            
They want to build it thick and tall              
They fear the drugs that come across              
And death that comes from cartel boss              
             
And there are some who hate the wall              
Cannot believe some have the gall              
To let kids starve in wired cells              
To kick down those who’ve been through hell              
             
They say there’s human trafficking              
Raping those in caravan ring            
Not a crisis some would claim            
Everyone looking for someone to blame            
             
I wrote this work as if a child              
For children is how adults can be              
The media circus has some beguiled              
But I know they can’t fool me.              
             
The truth lies somewhere in the middle              
Go on —            
keep swallowing the bull.
