DOWN ON THE BORDER WHERE CHILDREN SUFFER
(McAllen, Texas)
Down on border...
Where the line in the sand is drawn with sweat and blood,
And the dry dust meets the river of tears and hope,
And the footsteps of the old and the young crack and bleed!
Down on the border...
Where the tired and weary walk forward towards hope,
Driven toward an idea of a life better in the land of the free,
Walking like tireless ants toward a future in what is now HELL!
Down on the border...
Of the state called Texas where racism and religion sleep together at night,
And the guns and the chewing tobacco and the anti-women's rights rule,
Where the white people hate the black people... and everyone else, too!
Down on the border...
Where the children of the oppressed are not worth the dogs following the refugees,
Where the children of the tired and the helpless are now stolen from momma,
Where the evil of "elections have consequences" has now manifested as pure dark Trumpness!
Down on the border...
Of the state I graduated high school in and loved like a flawed paradise lost,
Long before the times of black lives mattering and false smart phone video salvation,
Where a police beating was just a thing... and on the spot police executions rare, indeed!
Down on the border...
In a place I now absolutely do not recognize as being a part of the America I love,
Where the old and the young... and the younger, still... are interned in dry camps,
Where Trump is too dirty evil and too rich to ever really empathize with the hell he inflicts!
Down on the border...
Where the Trump wife pays a visit to the harmless-looking internment camp processing center,
Where the clean walls hides the horror of the actual child prisons across the land,
Where she is ineffective and looks only like a Trump surrogate trying to pretty-up the evil!
Down on the border...
Where democracy has come to a sudden halt,
Sliced off at the knees by a mafia boss of a president,
Where the children suffer, and the world watches Americans decline, at the hands of... Donald Trump!
