It's no wonder that the valley privation,

Denial, degradation that separates a hungry,

Abused, sleep or otherwise deprived child,

Will increase in depth, with the 2.5 billion

Tax dollars being stolen from your Gov't's

Coffers going to build an unnecessary wall

On our nation's southern border.  



The more and higher that wall is built,

The deeper that valley separating those kids

From their experiencing families, themselves,

Schoolmates, the world, compassion, and

The more spread out, pervasive that destruction

Of their, and therefore our, future's will be,

Negatively rippling on for all eternity.
