We don’t care.
There is no empathy left in us.
No sympathy.
No care in the universe.

We know who they are.

Where they came from
across an ocean

England
Portugal
Spain
France
Italy
Germany
So many lands
Pilgrims landing from a wooden boat on a rocky shore with a large sailing ship in the background
They came for the land (Created with A.I.)
We have enough pain in our world
we cannot
will not
assume the debt of their pain

We refused to see them
for what they are

So, let’s call them what they are: inhuman
rapists (even the small ones)
murderers (even the smallest ones)
illegals
a plague
an invasion
criminals
Native American men, women, and children walking on a muddy road under guard by soldiers on horseback and foot during a forced relocation.
Trail of Tears (Created with A.I.)
They are not 
like us

What we should have done
is dig a moat
called it
the Atlantic Ocean
the Mediterranean Sea

They landed on these eastern shores
so sure, of themselves
that this land was there’s
From sea to shining sea
And called it America
the beautiful
(whatever)
Soldiers in blue uniforms with rifles face a group of Native Americans wrapped in blankets near snow-covered teepees.
Genocide (Created with A.I.)
We should have seen
the obvious

They are not like
human
like people
with flesh and blood
and minds and souls
and dreams

They demanded
No, they took
the land
the food

Offered no peace
no love
Only genocide

Take it
is all they knew
American flag on battlefield, scorched and bloodstained
They burned their souls (Created with A.I.)
Those illegals
we should have told them
You can’t have this
no way

You don't even have papers

You don’t
even speak like
us
look like
us

I would rather call them what they are
Illegals

What we should have done
is float some carnivorous
human flesh-eating
two-headed monsters through those waters
and call it a day.
