If only we had the luxury

of security from those who

threaten us from the south,

then perhaps we also could

ponder Grecian urns

and wonder what Keats would

say about America’s greatest challenge

if he were here today

But, at this time,

facing the possibility of

foreign dominance, we’ll instead

send a non-lyrical note

to the private rule abiders

abiding most often

according to rules

they themselves created

You can remove your

phone blocks and taps today

they didn’t stop the faceless

with caller ID’s of over

ten digits from calling anyway

But the question remains:

“Where is the secretive man today?”

Most said he’d end up

as perhaps the defeated Confederates

or, who knew, maybe

even like one of the many

done away with by Stalin, or

perchance like Joe and Magda

Goebbels unable to face a new

world without their Fuhrer,

and remembering how downtrodden

Angles and Saxons had been

overrun by William and his Normans

But, no matter where

the man of private investigations

is today, for

those still attempting

to live the so-called American

Dream, remember that

guilt seems to be

the new leftist weapon

to use against so many

who worked so long

for so many years

to establish various freedoms

in that North American nation

north of whence all

the invaders now come

And foolish

and unable to foresee

the future you’re

granting your children and

grandchildren are you

legislators and commoners

who think you’re doing well

by sheltering criminals,

drug abusers, and traffickers

of humans, illnesses,

and those same drugs

And apparently you can’t understand

what a sham the terms

“asylum seekers” and “immigrants”

are when used in conjunction

with those whose real goal

is to be the lords of those

whose ancestors came

from Europe, Africa, Asia,

and various islands

to settle that land

of unified states

And we’re being made

to feel guilty about

the poverty in America’s large

cities. So, what do our

leftist legislators wish

to do about that problem?

Answer:  Import more

impoverished foreigners

to either join the homeless

already here, or

live privately off the

toil of working Americans,

while putting an extra

strain on many government

programs initially enacted

to help Americans

who legally belong in the U.S.

But, oh, I know, sometimes

in the few remaining

quiet moments perhaps we

can blot out guilt’s strain;

at least to some extent

And sometimes perhaps

our fears for America’s future

can be subdued by promises

of assimilation which when

we awaken from our hopefulness

we see floating away from us

like a surfer riding a wave

that soon will fade

But here are my last verse

words to you who blame me

because fathers and daughters

drown where they never should

be; and who chastise

me because parents and children

are separated at locations

they wouldn’t have arrived at

had they stayed

where they belonged

“Stay away from me and

the life I’ve tried to lead. And

keep your phony guilt to

yourself. And try to legislate

laws for the good of Americans,

instead of giving away America’s

wealth and freedoms 

to foreigners who hate

the states united

and wish to dominate them

in years to come.”
