the innocents

“And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone, there’ll be one child born
and a world to carry on, to carry on” (“And When I Die/Blood Sweat and Tears)…
Kevin McAleenan, Commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection, responding to Senator Kamala Harris’s question of his obligation, his responsibility his compassion to demand some kind of inquiry and even simple due diligence into the sexual attacks and rape of asylum seekers by American Border Patrol Agents ICE Agents, was very unemotional and blunt. Once his office hands over the children to another agency his responsibility for civility and the rule of law ceases, and his power to demand justice to stop these heinous acts belong elsewhere. Commissioner McAleenan demonstrating nothing but the vacant and empty facial expression of a Nazi Guard tugging children from the cattle cars arriving at German Concentration Camps was horrific and nothing more than the typical response from the racist clansmen working for the Trump Administration.

“Children, don't do what I have done
I couldn't walk, and I tried to run
So I, I just got to tell you Goodbye goodbye
Mama don't go Daddy come home” (“Mother/John Lennon)…
Meshed wire surrounding a and eight by eight cement block is not a cage, according to Kirstjen Nielsen, US Secretary of Homeland Security. It is a transitional space inside a larger facility, with other meshed wired cement blocks to keep kidnapped children from their parents while someday soon, a real resolution will be adopted as to what to do with children of brown colored skin just seeking asylum in the US. When asked how this wired space surrounding a cement block is different than a cage, Ms. Nielsen, sighed, with that pouty face of a privileged person of royalty, gnarling her lips and trying her hardest to not just scream, leave me alone, you useless politician, demonstrated a flat and emotionless retort and said, we provide comfortable mats to sleep, a small area to play and exercise within the wired space. It was as if Kirstjen had been one of those German or Polish villagers living at the entrance of a German Concentration Camp, especially the ones with Gas Chambers, who when asked why they did nothing or said nothing, the response was, we didn’t see the rail cars each and every day and you know we have many cattle so then odor was nothing out of than usual. One more Trump clanswoman minus the white hood and robe, doing the bidding in accordance with her racist despot, Trump 

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home, a long way from home
True believer True believer A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home (Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child/Odetta)
The American Jihad of Christian Crusaders will tear down the halls of Justice demanding once that egg and sperm attach, once that zygote forms, once that zygote is called a fetus, that life is precious…Jesus, they will scream from the mountain tops, is the creator of life. But then somehow, when the fetus is outside of the womb, and if in fact that fetus is of color, it seems Jesus is busy building a Wall, or denying freedoms and equality to give one shit about the quality of LIFE, the child lives. Just ask Sarah HUCKABEE Sanders, who pretends to pray to Jesus makes her a good Christian but praying to Trump makes her a better human. It ain’t about the kid once it's born, nope…hypocrites never get their whole story correct, they only like to speak about the parts that make them feel all warm and cozy and of course self-righteous. This inhuman treatment of children is on OUR watch, my fellow Americans…and nothing so far is stemming the already overwhelming atrocities…almost endless torture, and murder of innocents!
