THE IMMIGRANTS, a poem

 

The reasons why:

The Irish from hunger

The Italians from poverty

The Jews from persecution

The Latinos from hunger,

poverty and persecution

SCARY DONALD TRUMP, a villanelle

          Donald, Blue America lives in fear

          of your finger on the bomb

          oh, your helter-skelter mind

          Will you survive more than a year

          with your speech so unkind

          Donald, Blue America lives in fear

          The frightening words Baltics hear

          you are in a Putin bind

          oh, your helter-skelter mind

          While Latinos pain is here

          the deportation orders signed

          Donald, Blue America lives in fear

          Women marched to be clear     

          they are not politically blind

          oh, your helter-skelter mind

          You sit in your Oval Office

          America watches and listens

          to your delusions of which

          Donald, Blue America lives in fear

          oh, your helter-skelter mind

          ( This villanelle was composed in January, 2017)
