What have we become
Wishing death to those in need Then laugh as they lay dying Can’t you hear their haunting pleas? You say that you’re a Christian You say that you’re Pro-life Yet you cheer their deathly demise With passion that is rife. Humanity is buried ‘Neath your partisan politics You shout your hateful words As you hold your crucifix. I recently read an article about a Trump Rally where the audience cheered as someone shouted to shoot the immigrants at the border. I couldn't help but ask myself, "What have we become?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2019/05/09/shoot-them-trump-laughs-off-supporters-demand-violence-against-migrants/?utm_term=.7e407a9ff480
