CRUELTY

Can’t believe the depth of evil
Circulating through his veins
It’s frightening to think about 
I think he is insane.

I watch the clips, the videos
Men kidnapped everyday
I am horrified by what he’s done
He’s taken them away.

No money  appropriated
To send immigrants to El Salvador
He’s paying millions to Bukele
And, plans to send him more. 

No phone calls, and no emails
They can’t see the light of day
They are tortured, and yes….brutalized
In so many, awful ways. 

No Habeus Corpus, or fair play
The work of a psychopath
Has no compassion for the weak
Just watch him, watch him laugh.

Refusal of an order
Sent to the highest Court
Told to turn those planes around
They should have  ….  from the start.

The cruelty, the hatred
Astounds and horrifies
I wouldn’t put it passed him… no
To have them crucified.

He has no use for immigrants
But, what about his wife?
He sent those men to prison
No due process, there for life.
