This is the emblem of the age
Children shivering all alone
Where ICE holds sway
Nothing at all for to atone
Five day’s hunger strike rallies the world
To Newark’s prison, a public shame
Justice, fairness, integrity hobbled
Throwing dirt on America’s name
Delaney was a leader of civil rights
His hall rejiggered as an infamous jail
By Trump and his pernicious acolytes
Holed up in their version of Versailles
Delaney, the emblem of this age
Should inspire international rage
Immigrants, fiber of American life
Uprise, uprise, uprise, uprise
Roberta Batorsky, a New Jersey poet, recently published her first book of poetry, Perihelion.
