Crisis Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

The crisis has been identified.
And a wall is reported,
To be immediately needed.
At a cost to deepen a deficit so high,
Multiple generations will never see it...
Lowered.
Until aliens from Jupiter,
Stop laughing to announce...
They've returned back to Earth.
To replenish the minds of those brain dead.

"Explain again,
How your borders are being infiltrated...
By immigrants threatening,
The quality of life and safety of the people.
That a building of a wall guarantees to prevent.
Costing taxpayers billions of dollars.
And you say this makes sense?

-Yes. Urgent is the emergency.-

"And...
How are they violating your borders again?
Thousands of these poor immigrants.
Invading your precious Southern border."

-Well,
Many are coming on cruise ships.
Others are flying in first class,
From several countries supporting rap music.-

"And how has this crisis been identified?
To verify your reported emerging urgency.
FBI?
CIA?
Armed guards already assigned,
To monitor every inch of your borders? "

-Well...
We have tweeted to be twittered.
And received numerous anonymous texts,
From someone claiming to be 'Slow Grind'.-

"And...
This is the reason,
To call a press conference.
For the purpose to declare a 'national emergency'? "

-Yes.
We all are terrified.
Aren't you? -
