Hollowed Groundswell

O hear tell of one groundswell that swept the USA.

The leader of the free world told non-whites to go away.
He doesn’t like their criticism or their funny dress.
Go back to your own country, he said, fix that bloody mess.
Four women who were singled out deplored his racist state.
I’m no racist, he replied; my heart’s just filled with hate.
His supporters backed him up, insisted he was right.
Send them back, they shouted. Almost all of them were white.
And so John Birch and KKK now find that they are back in play.
And Neo-Nazis freely stockpile arms.
Soon to come, abortion bans, conversion if you’re gay.
The free world leader cares not who he harms.
