Humpty Dumpty Sat On Trump's Wall

This is a satirical poem that I wrote about Donald Trump and his laughable policies. Since some of you might be his supporters, just consider this as a work of literature. Have fun!

This poem has been published in The Times Of India: Student Edition.

Humpty Dumpty Sat On Trump's Wall

                                                                                by Vishal Ramesh




Humpty Dumpty sat on Trump's wall,
Between Mexico and America did it sprawl,
Memories projected on his eye's lens
Of days he had spent on both sides of the fence.

"Which side to choose?" he tried to decide,
"I can't choose between" in despair he cried
"The land of my fathers or the land I call home",
"I don't think I belong, I feel so alone!"

And so he sat on the wall day and night;
He resolved not to give up without a fight,
But Uncle Sam did not take note,
Trump laughed, and thought it was a joke.

Humpty Dumpty sat on Trump's wall,
Until one night Dumpty had a great fall!
All of Trump's houses and all of Trump's wealth
Couldn't bring the countries together again.

Peace was broken, so was trust
Because of a man's desire for powerful lust.
And another thing that on that day fell
Was America, the land that now looked like hell!

Only one thing must fall,
And it is the wall.
For only ALL the world's women and ALL the world's men
Can put Humpty Dumpty together again.
