No Border For Bad Policies Poem by Hebert Logerie

No border for the bad policies
No border for the atrocities
No border for the illicit drugs
No border for rats, mice, bedbugs
Flies, bees, coyotes and mosquitoes
No border for the thieves and the gringos
No border for the invaders and the insects
No border for the backstabbers and the crickets
No border for bombing innocent children
No border for the rich, the millionaires
No border for killing the lions and the bears
No border for exploiting old men and women.

Stop polluting the air across the border
Stop the clouds, the acid raid if you can
Stop humiliating poor people and the children
Stop sending weapons to the drug dealers
Stop; stop arming the dictators and the oppressors
Stop putting children in warehouses and in metal cages
These types of facilities are for chickens, not for humans
Stop stigmatizing and abusing our children
Stop all heinous crimes and inhuman practices
Many people are fleeing your weapons and bad policies
Many people are fleeing violence and atrocities
Many people are fleeing hunger and death squads
Many people are fleeing your spies in the quads
Many people are fleeing your bombs, your bullets
Many migrants are fleeing oppression and your jets
Stop the racist and criminal policies
And stop the famine and the atrocities
Because the cemeteries have no vacancies.
