The Southern Sieve
(Part 1)
by Criminy Pickett
A geographic boundary
Forms a country’s melting-pot foundry
Defines sovereign nations
Ebbs and flows its migration
All across a line imagin’ry
But in the southwest United States
Enforcement efforts castrate
Now a porous sieve
Pitting citizenry aggrieved
Against migrants who trans-ambulate
While immigrants are quite welcome here
We ask them to kindly adhere
To the laws of this land
Form a line and then plan
To wait your turn and not disappear
