By: Cedric McClester We must be forgetting The intensive vetting Refugees go through Before they get into The United States Despite frequent debates We’re relatively assured Their past is not ignored Why should we deny ‘em From safety and asylum In the home of the brave How come we always cave And give into our fear When by now it should be clear There is nothing to else To fear but fear itself The challenge of the day Is what to do or say When safety’s of concern We needn’t crash and burn Or fear the Boogie Man The way you know we can In frightening times like these Let’s get off our knees No one can guarantee A hundred percent safety None of us wants to die At best we can only try To be as safe as we can But we needn’t try to ban People who are oppressed By those who are God blessed Cedric McClester, Copyright (c) 2015.
