When did
your political party
become more important
than children
sleeping in cages
and drowning in rivers
because they are afraid?

When did “refugee”
become a swear word?
Was it before
or after
your Christ
was crucified?

Why is it
that when voices 
try to speak up
and rally the humanity
we once possessed
we are silenced
with mockery
and memes?

So I ask you again
when did your political parties
become more important
than
dead
children?
