Yellow Planetary Human/ Resonant Monkey Moon of Service, Day 6

 

10 Eb

 

Yellow Planetary Human

Up came I from the border Towns –

Texas towns of Wind and Heat

 Dust unto Dust

Up drove I from a Valley of Death –

Border Patrols – screaming Sirens –

Burly men searching for “Wetbacks” 

Crossing the Rio Grande –

Swimming for their Lives and Children

Braving Cold – Darkness – Nets - Death

Cops everywhere in those Texas Towns –

Armed and dangerous Vigilantes

Looking to find a Reason to kill

Small brown People

Gentle and proud

With Hope greater than Fear –

 Nothing to lose

Up drove I through ghost Town after Town

From Palm to Mesquite –

North came I when Night descended

Looking for Shelter – none to be had –

Every Lad from the Oil Fields

With pockets full of Cash

Filled every Space – sold out – locked down

No Room at the Inn for

     Brave brown People or me.
