Are You Sure You Want to Come Here?

Hey, fellow Earthlings, if you dare

To come to America, be aware

That things aren't what they used to be.

It's grown quite scary, believe you me!

 

Even if you have permission to stay,

You have to watch what you do or say,

Or there could be a knock on your door,

And friends won't see you here anymore.

 

Consider this for a real treat:

Dissent and you'll be swept off the street

By people in masks, most likely from ICE,

And flown far away! Isn't that nice?

 

You ask, "Doesn't due process exist?"

NOT if you're on Donald Trump's list.

Our country is just like a country that

Is ruled by a vicious autocrat.

 

If you mind your p's and q's,

There is a chance you still could lose.

Regulations are dwindling fast,

And so your chances of dying are vast.

 

It COULD be from something that makes you sick,

A crash, or a shooter. Take your pick.

Medical research? Trump won't read it.

According to him, none of us need it.

 

Our national security

Has become an obscurity.

Other countries can trust us no longer.

While we grow weaker, Putin grows stronger.

 

Trump is chasing away our friends

Instead of choosing to make amends.

He loves our adversaries, of course,

Because he wants to rule by force.

 

Surrounded by folks who think he's swell,

He's making life in America hell.

Far from common sense he's strayed

And now is killing our tourist trade.

 

To be so hated, he seems contented,

As he grows more and more demented.

I have to wonder why anyone would

Want to come here if he or she could.
