THE WALL <\/p>\n

by Bill Kochman<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.billkochman.com\/Poetry<\/a><\/p>\n

01-06-2019<\/p>\n

Divided down the middle,
\nA very sad tale indeed,
\nSo many want the wall,
\nWhile others see no need.<\/p>\n

A country so torn apart,
\nHot tempers on every side,
\nSo much ugly language,
\nIt makes one want to hide.<\/p>\n

Trump and Nancy posture,
\nBut no one wants to budge,
\nThe Dems need to get over,
\nTheir silly 2016 grudge.<\/p>\n

Jesus gave us a warning,
\nDivided houses cannot stand,
\nBut pols keep on bickering,
\nWhat don’t they understand?<\/p>\n

The nation’s in real danger,
\nFrom without & from within,
\nIt’s time to mend the fence,
\nLest something worse begin.<\/p>\n

We have a right to safety,
\nOur borders well patrolled,
\nExcuses from those Dems,
\nAre just really growing old.<\/p>\n

So just stop all the circus,
\nAnd put the people first,
\nIf we don’t fix immigration,
\nThe dam may someday burst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
