Zero Tolerance

 

Zero Tolerance is the demand

Heroic demonstrative, enforcement

Divide them, force them from our land

 

In vacuum of righteous think

Regardless the cost or loss

Compassion was the missing link

 

Righteous, law demanded thought

Meets the searing cry of children

Hearts turned, alternatives sought

 

How to undo, horrors we wrought

The terrible mess we’ve made

Reconnecting was never a thought

 

In the moment of action taken

Satisfied, to force an issue

In zero tolerance, our soul forsaken

 

The children will continue cry

For years until they stop

Broken lives we must not deny

 

Yes, zero tolerance, was our call

Incentive to stay away

Incentive to negotiate for a wall

 

What will we get?

A generation failed

Our soul’s regret
