Tomatoes and Children in Wire Cages
They look so lonely, set out in a row
Behind the wire cages they are assigned
Peering out to the world denied them now
Fragile and young, so vulnerable, so small
But with sunlight and love they will arise
Growing around those cages, and building up
Beauty and strength in tended fellowship
In laughter, love, and, learning firmly set
They look so lovely, for they grow themselves
To bless the world beyond their poor beginnings
No, I am not doing the "Bad Orange Man" thing here; the restraint of children - some of whom are not children at all - brought across borders by their parents or those purporting to be their parents has being going on for a long time. The current president has not done anything about it, and, except for protesting, neither have you, and neither have I.
