Here is a poem about our nation’s recalcitrance in welcoming immigrants and refugees. Wile we use cramped legalisms to incarcerate our hearts, many speak openly in racist and violent terms. I strongly suspect that we would do better as a nation and a world to purposively welcome immigrants and refugees, and recognize that no human being is illegal.<\/p>\n

\nFrom God knows where
\nEvery language unspoken
\nArriving in naivet\u00e9
\nAnd no room in
\nOnly to be tolled
\nBy those of unsound mine
\nTo get my asylum seeking as
\nTaken aback
\nTo wherever I came from
\nMy advent
\nOnly to mete
\nImpassable boarders
\nTo be borne here
\nAs if a different specious
\nUnlike me
\nIlliciting aliens
\nSubject too
\nAnal probes
\nForaging
\nA head
\nFor paper work
\nUnregarding unsubstantiated birth
\nFinding only tall tails
\nQuestionable monkey’s uncles
\nAnd least of these
\nHapless to see the plight
\nKnot willing
\nToo believe
\nIn such a never never land
\nOf the free
\nMark it
\nWon’s words
\nIn sentries of precedents
\nElected freely
\nAnd now defend on them
\nFor citizenship
\nFeigning brave bull work
\nWear hear
\nWe warship as wee pleas
\nAnd fence liberty for huddled masses
\nWhose flag waving
\nIs uncolored properly
\nBy the book
\nIn accord with the clink
\nThat might
\nGive hard one angles
\nWings
\nAs deed on arrival<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
