McAllen Blues

The invasion upon us

attacked by a neighbor

no village is safe

their scourge overruns

The enemy dressed

as civilian turistas

our border wide open

and freely they come

No shots have been fired

or prisoners taken

the keys to our arsenal

willingly loaned

Our schools now infested

with quotas bespoken   

surrounded and cornered

—the fault but our own

(McAllen Texas: September, 2022)
