“We don’t put them in jail,” she said.
No, instead we put ‘em in cages,
At the most tender ages!
And so the debate rages
Because of a presidential policy
That never had to be
And she apparently support it
To remain his Secretary

Every time that she insists
The border wall must exist
She’s putting her integrity at risk
And that really gets me ******
You see in stark reality
There is no real emergency
Although we hear him say it
He cannot display it

People running for their lives
Seeking asylum, but is it wise?
For them to cross the border legally
If when they do they won’t be free
To apply for American citizenship
Because of the President’s xenophobic trip
Especially when they’re shades of brown
Because all that they’ll get, is the run around

Closeness to power must be contagious
It causes some people to say the outrageous
When they find it advantageous
They’ll say the kids are not in cages
But we will not be deceived
Just because that’s what they want us to believe
Some have gone to see for self
Those children warehoused on a shelf
