Haitian Immigrants And Other Migrant Workers Do Not Eat Pets

Yes, this is a bad joke Yes, this is a sad comedy What an irony What a parody Smile and smirk, so you won’t be poked What a hilarious lie! It is a travesty Immigrants don’t eat pets They eat beef, chicken, and pork Like you and me. All bets Are off. Let’s be serious and dark Migrant workers are looking for jobs What a spoiled brat candidate! Unnecessary stabs And sound bites, this time, will not work Migrants are people too Yes, I’m talking to you Who believe in fake news, half-truths and lies All human lives matter in front of God. All lives Are special. Migrants are the poor children Of the Almighty. Give them food and haven If your ultimate goal is to reach Heaven It’s about time, the system puts the felon In his place. Nobody wants a convicted liar A criminal with a deferred sentence at the border It’s sad to see a grumpy old con artist On stage. There’s no place for a divider, a racist In this day and age, in today’s political scene How strange, unbelievable and obscene To see a liar tremble before the Truth God is Great. It’s time to pray and to play the lute Immigrants do not eat pets. They are like you and I They eat chicken, meat and pork, and also enjoy apple pie It’s time for the judge to send the felon Where the fellow belongs, in jail, in prison.
