Yesterday’s Gone

Today
is so different than any day of our past
Our futures are of chaos
borders being over taken very fast
Europe undergoing change
a change that leaves the country weak
So many refugees coming from the east
they say it’s food and shelter that they seek
America being torn apart
mostly from within, is what I see
Our government so very greedy
always telling lies to you and me
Everyone sick and tired
but no one wants to stand and fight
Politicians get their votes
the people hope their choices were right
There just seems to be no end
to the corruption and crime today
All of the countries are poisoned
and we just listen to what the government leaders say
What if everyone finally took a stand
to change the way things have turned out to be
To stop the movement of refugees
and to stop terrorist mobility
To everyone I say
stand up for what you do believe
Be united together in good
but not in a way in which you will deceive

A truly courageous piece, and well said.
Perhaps we would have been better off had they inscribed this poem on the Statue of Liberty instead of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses."
Your point is well-taken.
We can't blame anyone but ourselves.
Silence, after all, is consent.
