Trump Will Make America Brave Again! (From My Viewpoint)



Let there be a hundred Merkels
Let there be a thousand Trumps
but let there not be that single woman
who sat and watched people run
for not setting action in time;
and all those people who ran
ran from their own homeland
from their own birthplaces,
abandoning their own houses;
men, women, children, the sick, the old
in boats, by road, by foot, they fled,
some died, many survived;
and as they live now in other countries,
they live by day and sleep by night
just like beggars though kings
as the comfort and warmth of home they miss
just because world leaders turned blind eye
to their growing plight in time, back home.
Let there be hundreds of Merkels
and let there be thousands of Trumps
for they will do better for the world
than those who have watched a nation run
to live as refugees elsewhere than home
or let there be that just one President
called Trump who will care to dare
and not just stand and stare callously
at death, destruction, terror and torment
which the world and humanity encounters now.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
AMERICA COULD HAVE PREVENTED THE SYRIAN REFUGEE CRISIS!
{ In the year 1990, when Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, it was America who prevented people from that country from being refugees. I was there in the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia (at Ras Tanura, Rahima) and I saw refugees rushing in to Saudi with their families and were begging for shelter. We ourselves were transported to Najran when scud missiles were being launched on Saudi Arabia by Saddam Hussein. People should understand when other countries suffer, the super power nations should stand up against terror and exploitation.
My son was in Germany last year and saw refugees flocking into Germany. The young and respectable refugee girls were begging for money and willing to do any work.
My son felt traumatized to see the condition and struggles of those refugees and returned home giving up the good prospects he had taken up for his career.
In this way many homes, lives and careers get displaced while the same old leaders cry to get elected as Presidents not realising the gravity of the situation imposed upon others by their negligence of duties of upholding world peace and security - a stitch in time saves nine. }
So America, when you vote, be realistic! Good Luck with your votes!
