State of the Union
State of the Union
Unlike the ring of any liberty bell,
the calls of whistles are shrill.
Like the worst tinnitus,
their piercing sound warns us:
“La Migra esta aqui!”
ICE is here. To kidnap and kill,
to assault, to stun, to shoot us
in broad “America the Beautiful” daylight,
with video from every angle so they can celebrate
and you can learn what happens to those who “fight.”
Overused term, “to gaslight”.
Why do you let them obscure your view
of what is wrong and who is right?
Do not let your eyes turn away,
like her wheels did that dark day.
For evil men, when given sway,
kill all things Good and Pretti.
Even when their hands are raised
in submission, petition, or to pray.
NYE celebration at his own home,
Keith Porter, citizen, family man,
legal gun owner, aiming for the moon…
No one of us is immune.
Miramar Martinez, a secular miracle,
bravely recounts her story of survival
while Justice weeps at its own funeral.
Still, pride goeth before a fall.
Lemmings, are masked men
who call themselves boys,
carrying weapons loose,
like children do with toys.
First your neighborhood,
to hunt migrants, then mine.
Their gut hatred instills fear
but respect goes to the heroes,
whose blood stains our streets,
whose names we still speak,
along with those who lived
but whose water isn’t safe to drink.
Worms in the “camp” food;
expat women left free-bleeding;
infections from used underwear,
medical abuse, and lack of sanitation;
public toilets positioned for the sick
and grossly overpaid guards’ satisfaction.
Hell is a place where teens
are impregnated against their will,
where toddlers’ drawings are mocked,
and babies denied their mother’s milk.
Then men, women, and their children
forced shackled onto long flights.
Asylum seekers found dead in a field
mere months after their case is denied.
If you won’t fight for them now,
are you entitled to human rights?
