dark vision

to Donald Trump, the matter's black and white
these migrants don't bring cash to buy his wares
they ought to stay in Syria and fight
or die at sea for all it seems he cares
America was built by immigrants
our universities are polyglot
but Donald calls for building a high fence
to shut out light and air and let us rot
crass demagogue, besotted with the crowd
who haven't learned the lessons of the past
they'll vote for any fool who's tall and loud
and make a hero of this braying ass
Trump's vision is of stasis and decay
the Land of Gold--cut off--withers to grey
