Wanting A Wall Poem by Randy McClave

You want to build a great wall
From what I do recall,
To keep all immigrants out and away
On every single day.
You want a wall like Jericho
But, one that won't fall down when horns do blow,
Or one built like the one in Berlin
So, not to let their own people in.
I asked you the reasoning why
On the borders why a wall must lie,
To keep all of the criminals out
Which are the immigrants you cried and did shout.
You screamed only criminals will illegally cross a border
Or ones with a mental disorder,
That is what you believe and do preach
That is also what to your children you teach.
You don't like immigrants or foreigners
You say we should send them to coroners,
They are destroying the USA
You proclaim that every single day.
They are all murderers and rapists
With their dark dirty faces,
They also lie and they enjoy to kill
And they rob and steal.
Your father said the very same thing
But, not your great grandfather from Beijing,
Because, he wanted to be free
So, he came to this great country.
You scream a wall we should build
It must be our shield,
Immigrants are destroying our great land
Against them all we must stand.
I think about our forefathers living here
How they were stole from, murdered, raped and filled with fear,
If only they had built a wall instead
Those crimes wouldn't exist because of the men of red.
