Letter to the Editor: Political poetry

Dear Editor:

The House once shining on the hill
is now entrenched with many ills
A place where jokers now preside
And haughty queens now rule inside

Spewing profanity for all to hear
No respect and honor here.
Where apathetic kings beguiled
Along with others laugh and smile.

The wall’s immoral the jokers shout
ICE and barriers we can do without.
Bring your drugs and criminals too
With open borders we welcome you.

Hopefully soon the “know-it-alls”
Like a deck of cards will fall
And President Trump can build our wall.

Martha Morrissy
