How do you feel about mass deportations as a solution for America today?
“I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they belonged.” (George Washington)
In my capacity as teacher and professor for over thirty years, my classes were filled with a wide range of newcomers to this country. Most of them I discovered were eager to learn. So the following original poem represents my thoughts on dealing with the maelstrom of negativity regarding the status of immigration in my country as a result of the last election. For I find myself questioning whether any political party best represents my interests now.
Pandora’s Box Aversion
Behold New Year Shocks
That Golden Key Unlocks
For Deep Down A Monster Lies
Glowing Uncompromising Eyes
Hearing Newcomer Nightmares
Plunging Down Bottomless Stairs
Such Confusion Of Culture
Who Face Castaway Vulture
With Humanless Curse
To Make Matters Worse
So Who Gets My Vote?
Just Build Me A Moat
Snippets of a Traveling Mind 
It is easy for politicians to make statements but are they the solution? People with wealth and power get away with everything and the poor suffer. This is happening all over the world.
