Down came the Wall, and the Man with the Crown

  Trumpty Dumpty built a great wall
Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall
  All the king's horses and all the king's men
Couldn't put Trumpty together again

  The wall that he built, he sat on like a throne
He told all the people to stay on land of their own
  But so many there were, they knocked the wall down
Down came the wall and the man with the crown

   I wrote this poem about a year and a half ago, wondering if the immigration issue would bring Trump down. Now, with so much criticism of his separating families, I think of this poem again. 
   I wonder if the plight of the immigrant hasn't become more popular since Trump took office, if his policies haven't brought more sympathy to the immigrant.
