Behind the invisible border of
Boundaries divided by skin color,
Drug cartels and their wars rage -
The wage paid is found in ditches
Between Mexico and Texas,
Headless, nameless corpses -
Some innocent and ignorant to this
Illegality of separation due to a
War raged long before they lived and
Died trying to thrive on the American
Dream they nightmared while Coyotes
Drove them toward their executioners as
Mules smuggling hope in bodies
Squished into spaces not even habitable
For una pulga+ - let alone fifty human
Beings - aliens, flying through space
In a UFO to a time and place that continues to
Disappoint because of borders.
+means: a flea
