Let Them Stay

“Immigrants or illegal immigrants?

There’s a difference,” she snapped.

Draw a line; leave them out—

Those here illegally should be zapped.

A lower cut,

A lesser being.

Those here illegally

Should be fleeing.

Take a broom,

Get them out.

Chase them away—

Scream and shout.

These are not true immigrants;

There’s quite a difference, you know.

These are they here illegally—

Send them away; they need to go.

Shame them, shun them,

Cast them out.

We will not have them

Here about.

Intolerance for them?

Well, it seems so to me.

But I’m not against allowing them—

Let them stay, and let them be.
