There’s
a new wave of huddled masses

Streaming
through our ports

Strangers,
who bear the full weight of our fears

“Drive
them away”

Is
the war-cry of so-called natives

From
the sons and daughters of old travelers

“Terrorist”

Is
scrawled over every proud name

Every
doctor, every teacher, every wide-eyed poet

Who
dreams and wades into refuge

“Terrorist”
is far too small of a word

For
the large hearts and minds

Who
know, of terror’s full wrath

©William Wright, Jr.
