The Top of the Pecking Order: WASP.
White Anglo Saxon Protestant: elite of USA.
Here First: Seeking Autonomy/Freedom to Pray.

These immigrants to America were from England.
They brought slavery juxtaposed with liberal wisdom.
Then spawned revolution to fight against birth kingdom.

Early America’s colonists in 1776 won independent fight.
Soon after: 1812 mother country rose up again to chastise.
Its powerful dominion determined to reduce fledgling size.

Again novice émigrés, after prodigious defeat, succeeded.
America now rooted towards manifest destiny: self-ruled mass.
WASPs rule: Women/Mexican/ Indian/Black disenfranchised class.

Contemporary immigrants flooding European/American borders.
England’s answer BREXIT; USA Presumptive’s goal build wall.
Current climate over universal state of affairs is despondency pall.

Survival of the fittest…evolution’s heritage…WASPS at the top.
Emma Lazarus’ The New Colossus ideally symbolized universal LOVE.
Alas WASP’s legislation: NO `marginalized’ or avocation from ABOVE.
