Letter: America first?

Muslims and blacks, and women too,

Asians, Latinos, what good do they do?

Immigrant foreigners corrupting our lifestyle,

Email newsletter signup

Best keep them out, at least the most vile

Walls and police to protect whites and wealthy

Climate neglected and no longer healthy

 

America first? … as humanity thirsts,

For justice and peace — to say the least

 

It should be quite clear for all to see

This view of us does not have to be

Demagogues and hate will not make us great,

And damned we will be if enabling this fate

This moment of truth — beginnings to ends

Time to pick sides, save souls and make friends.
