Precious....Immigrants....We've Long.....Despised Poem by James B. Earley

Precious....Immigrants....We've Long.....Despised



Immigrants....illegal...or otherwise.....
We find some bigoted excuse to demonize
.....But later on....come...to realize
That..."Homegrown" evil right before our eyes

White House.....mostly behind it all
....America's decline...in free fall
In my eighty-four years I can't recall...
A more evil scoundrel controlling y'all

...Summing it up....and this is it
Are we rapidly becoming a piece of shit.....
Homeless encampments we don't give a wit
...This despicable portrait.....does it really fit

Or......am I perhaps...dreaming it up
Might I come awake and find abrupt
...Society....exorcising this bitter cup
An inclusivity from which we all can sup

With the White House mostly behind it all
....Resolving America's decline...freefall
Evil scoundrel once controlling y'all....
Has somehow seen writings on the wall

...That immigrants....illegal....or otherwise...
Folks...we've always demonized
Now later on coming to realize.....
Precious immigrants....we've long despised
