Build A Wall Poem by Randy McClave

We should have built a wall
Very strait and very tall,
To keep all strangers and immigrants out
The native Americans did scream and shout.
Our land then wouldn't had been taken
Our lives wouldn't had been forsaken,
Over there would had been natures trees
Instead of their large cities.
Then more and more came in
They introduced us to their lying and cheating and sin,
And as we now all look over there
No longer clean is our water or our air.
We should had built a wall to keep out the white man
Him and all of his clan,
But, now sadly it is much to late
As we must live by his laws and his fate.
The white man is the one who destroyed this land
With the wave of his selfish and controlling hand,
Because, of his jealousy and his greed
He took whatever he wanted or did need.
He murdered and he raped our people
While worshipping under his steeple,
He then captured and killed our children and our braves
While they made others their slaves.
We then needed a wall without a door
So, into our land his people couldn't pour,
But, sadly that wall or door was never built
Our forefathers and ancestors now hold the guilt.
Now the time here is sad and kind of amusing
And also it is very confusing,
He now wants to build a wall because he is scared of a stranger
Don't he realize yet, that he was that danger.
