"Wall Around America's Heart"


Inspired by the January 6, 2021 tragedy at the U.S. Capitol

 

He promised

To build the Wall.

He failed to realize

Pride comes before a fall.

 

His supporters

Believe the lies,

Even though

The logic defies.

 

He built the

Wall around America’s heart,

After he divided

Americans apart.

 

From the damage done

Americans must heal,

The only way to do that

Has yet to be revealed.
