Brian Terry (In Memorial) Border Patrol Agent Poem by Luke Easter

12/10, a Border Patrol Agent is shot by an illegal immigrant,
However, that is not what makes this murder so significant,
Neither that the five robbers decided to shoot it out, not run,
Brian Terry was savagely murdered from an American gun.

Family Attorney Paul Charlton might sue, “a cause of action, ”
Even by the smallest act of negligence, just a minute fraction,
Are they saying the federal government failed, take a number,
While Uncle Sam is responsible many an incompetent blunder.

Terry’s loved ones are heartbroken and understandably upset,
Justice! LeVena Johnson, Pat Tillman, don’t hold your breath,
Kenneth E. Melson, Federal Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco, head,
Mexican drug cartel runners are informants uh an agent is dead.

There is not one explanation that can suffice as to how or why,
Weapons meant for authorities ended up in the hands of bad guys,
An operation known as, “Fast and Furious” didn’t go over too well,
Guns were purchased in the U.S. so they could be traced to the cartel.

ATF lost track of sold guns as some were found at the crime scene,
Senator Grassley, Representative Issa cry misuse of American green,
Did the DOJ really allow Mexican criminals to smuggle weapons in?
Engaging in such activities is highly prejudicial so let the trial begin.

Pure lunacy allowing your own to be front & center on the firing line,
When you know damn well, in no cellblock will the Mexicans do time,
We need an intelligent informant strategically placed south of the border,
And since he’s no good in his present position I nominate, “Eric Holder.”

Oh, not just the family has the right to be, “Furious” but not so, “Fast, ”
With the track records of these discombobulations it will not be the last,
Smuggling dope, guns or humans, every illegal pursuit is all about cash,
Why is it every time we fund Mexico we end up cleaning our own trash?
