Border Moon

See the children cry torn from their mother's breast

They should have known they were just like all the rest

That Orange moon has left us within deception at its culmination

This could have been that place of hope, a peaceful destination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

We all came from somewhere oppressed and distressed

And we all will end up in the swirling wind a bit possessed

That Orange moon has left us deception at its culmination

This could have been that place of hope, a peaceful destination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

Now, the man say's he cares about our collective security

It has nothing to do with some kind need for racial purity

That Orange moon has left us within deception at it's culmination

This should have been that place of hope not the hate filled destination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

A loving destination

A hopeful culmination

See the babies try to hold onto that ledge from which they are shoved

Into the hearts and minds of all humanity they need to be loved

That orange Moon has left us within deception at it's culmination

This should have been that place of hope not the hate filled destination

A loving destination A hopeful culmination A loving destination A hopeful culmination A loving destination A hopeful culmination A loving destination A hopeful culmination

It feels rushed and frenzied, but I think it's supposed to. The repetition and lay out of the sentences really convey the stress and anxiety of the words. An interesting read for my first poem since I've been back.
