Mcallen Blues Poem by Kurt Philip Behm

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)
