Poetry in The Time of Trump
We wrap ourselves in Stars and Stripes
And hide behind God’s might
Proclaim false persecution and
Pretend we’ve lost our rights
Humanity and Justice
Are left bleeding in the street
Equality stands silently
While brotherhood just weeps
I’m on my knees
I’m begging please
Can you forgive us for our sin
I pray for you
To guide us through
This nightmare that we’re in.
Those who walked before us cry
The man who had a dream
We parrot back the words he said
But don’t know what they mean
Oh my Lord
Forgive us for
This ugly thing
That we’ve become
We turned our hearts
Toward the dark
Instead of toward the Son
I’m on my knees
I’m begging please
Can you forgive us for our sin
I pray for you
To guide us through
This nightmare that we’re in.
