The Muslims Banned

'Twas January the 27th
And truth be told

We shivered more with fear
Rather than the cold

For us it was just a confirmation
A realization, an admonition 

For we saw it coming
With collective breaths on hold

We felt a wake up call
Or a prayer's summon

As the news popped up
On Fox and CNN

We packed our bags
And checked visa stamps

And wondered if there's WiFi
In the internment camps

His orders came in 
With urgency and fury

The executioner became
The judge and the jury

The lyrics spew hatred
From a one man band

And he wants to name it
"The Muslims Banned"

On a piece of fancy paper
He colors the Wall

And forgets Who parted the Red Sea
The Lord of us all

The charade has started
The Trumpet has sounded

See that Wall over there
"Great America" is above
And beyond it
