WALLS

 

He wanted a wall.
He wanted others to pay for it.
But  the only walls he tried to build
were  made of bully words –
labels, lies, slogans, slurs –
but the day is coming,
when his whole empire
of emptiness and envy is going to fall
and we’re going have to try
to make America  honest again.
