by B. N. Faraj
If God decreed the Book to be revised
to make the seven eight and add a sin
with which do you suppose he would begin—
the deadliest, the one that's most despised?
Do you believe there is a bigger vice
that tramples decency and butchers grace
and puts to shame our fumbling human race
than what is being committed by ICE?
