Family Separation

Family belongs together

A mad man in a big white house presumes to make light of that

Maybe because he has never known a true family unit and its brand of love

Insanity in him seems to run deeper than any human considerations

Love for innocent children cannot be found in his coldest heart of hearts

Y be so cruel Mr. Trump, why?

So many tears we cry as our loving arms ache to hold our stolen children

Every minute without them is a hell on earth

Please do not take your anger against us our on them

Allow us the comfort of our children through this terrible ordeal

Regardless of how you view this immigration mess

Attacking and tearing apart family is not the answer

There has to be a better way

I ask only that you try to meet us halfway on some kind of common ground

Only children, they are not chess pieces you can play with just to win

No sane human being or parent would do this to another

So how can you?

Oh Mr. Trump

How can you?
