Good Fences Do Not Make Good Neighbors

Rating: 5.0


poor donald poor donald does not know
that building fences does not make good neighbours
mending fences makes good neighbours
being kind to neighbours makes good neighbours...
respecting even if pitying wall building neighbours
who must hide behind walls is respecting their boundaries
but do not be fooled love kindness tolerance helping neighbours
even especially bad neighbours in their test hour adversity...

these tiny seeds may flower into an Eden of good neighbours
donald hairy speckled roaster with unruly fab mop hairstyles
has crowed in his hen house "I am going to build a tall fence..."
actuually donald has discovered the power of capitalization

"I AM GOING TO BUILD A TALL FENCE
A TERRIFIC FENCE. I BUILD THE BEST FENCES.
BELIEVE ME. AND THE FOXES
ARE GOING TO PAY FOR IT.'"

donald is telling them Mexicans they cannot play in his sandpit...

maturity is the ability to tolerate opinions we do not agree with
maturity is the ability to tolerate people of different beliefs cultures
racism is an intolerance which desires to persecute different cultures
racism intolerance persecutes people it dislikes disagrees with

that trump fence will not be built
makes no moral ethical or financial sense
to build a fence promoting racism hate
Trump better learn to build financial fences...
fences to keep American factories
in America not low paid Mexicans out
Trump wake up American factories
are moving escaping over the borders...

in the pursuit of highest profit margins
to countries paying sweet sweat shop wages
yes corporate America has crossed borders
for decades has been border hopping borders...
Corporate America chases biggest fattest profit margins;
Trump is going to have to face facts, to face reality facts;
a strong America will come from united not divided citizens;
Canada and Mexico are next door border neighbours...

Canada and Mexico are border neighbours
countries are strong who trade with close neighbours;
building a wall is a financial failure, building repairing
roads bridges factories homes, a healthy economy...
is the only choice the will of the people will accept;
we are strong united not divided; don't worry we can educate;
Trump, repairing international relations with other countries;
with major powers is also a good start; you might not...

have noticed but the movement of aircraft;
ships troops and nuclear weapons to countries;
people should be able to name means BB has
succeeded in not just reviving but heating...
up a new cold war; we can will educate;
Trump, with the voice of the best interests;
of all citizens, not just the elite, we can we must;
if we want prosperity peace; which is won not...

with weapons and treats;
but acts of kindness
understanding
tolerance...
violence is failure
a far far distant last resort;
it is time for a little wisdom peace
prosperity to rule America and bless the World...
