They fed us breadcrumbs
Mama was cooking
Kept us hungry for more
Always scraping
Scrolling
Now the kitchen is closed
And there is no meal
Only dry breadcrumbs
Blown away in the wind

Pope Francis calls Trump’s deportation plans a ‘disgrace,’ highlighting how they punish the most vulnerable instead of addressing root causes. This isn’t about justice—it’s a scapegoating tactic to rally support. True leadership would focus on humane, systemic immigration reform.
