Borders

Secure our borders! Good fences make good neighbors. Make it clean and strong Our earth is colored in patches Of the countries, its entities Document every plant, animal, and person Measure all the air, water, and breathing Make everything invisible, visual Experience life, cleanly divisible Since we can't respect differences We must make great walls To decorate with peace doves And free-for-alls; Since we can't understand each other’s needs We must enforce our language In the name of collaboration And reason; Since we can't stop fighting each other We must create better weapons To stop the others from Making more; Since we can't cure our diseases We must name name each one And come up with new experiments Procedures and drugs; Since we can't educate our people Who have these answers already Let's vote against spending money To teach them; Secure our borders! Good fences make good neighbors
