 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan



Mexico's northern border
Is not the Canadian border
It is English speaking Canadian USA border

Now some fool said
"Trump is trying to make America Lilly White."
I would find that ludicrous
What is Lilly white?
I am Irish, English, and choice American Indian
Even if not in my DNA
I am all races and colors
My friends are USA born
My ancestors came to America as immigrants
Learned the language and worked for a living
Paid taxes served the flag as citizens
I spent summers on the reservation with friends
My complexion is pink
My friend is brown not black
If it were black is my brother
We all come from the womb of the Same Mother
Colors mean nothing in America
Do I speak Spanish-- not well!
Comma say ya-ma go backo to Mexico
America is not a province of Mexico
There is no place in the world for Terrorism
Nor is it a religion
I am confused the Muslims themselves
continue to exploit woman
and are not leading the war against terriorism
My Mom is my strength
She taught me the ten commandments
If you come to America hard working
Pay taxes and learn the language you are American
Marijuana, Cocaine, Heroin is a foreign language
And giving tax payers money to addicts is insane
Tent cities defame all reason
I have Grandchildren of mixed races
One Grandma, American born Chinese
It is a family joke I always hated the English
DNA English" 47" Irish "27"  and
for the spouting idiot may be some Jewish
I am thinking some pernicious ancestors
Not a one of them to America disgraces
I can smile at a baby of any color
But their parents are not here on a free ride
It is not Lilly White but making America great again
It is a concept we need to return to not
Turning this country to another countries cesspool
Isn't' color of skin but a sin to continue warring over beliefs
In our own ways we all praise God
