My Walls Poem by Rose Kanana

My Walls

Rating: 4.8


I want to make my home great again
I will build a perimeter wall
And beef it up with an electric fence
And the razor wire
I will screen any person getting into my compound
Including myself
For i could be a threat
To the Flora and Fauna in my compound
I will ensure no relative of mine
Takes away my domestic managers job
By purporting to be my guest
My home is becoming great again
Only with an achievement of burning bridges
With a few neighbors
And destroying relations with humanity
Do NOT forget my purpose
'making my home great again'

Very well stated commentary on the absurdity of building walls, especially walls which destroy our humanity.

I'm afraid the previous three people who left comments did not understand the great satire of your poem. Great job of making fun of Donald Trump! Congrats on poem of the day!
