Their playground, our world
The bullies intimidate
Taking what they want
Caught in their dangerous game
We are expendable pawns
It is Deja Vu
Cold War resuscitated
There are no winners
Just two very big egos
Gambling our existence
.
~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
Borders porous fence
A thousand miles…freedom
Better life awaits
If only we are not caught
Sent back to our poverty
Dreaming the same dreams
From different time and place
No ships, no Ellis Island
Only a desert
Separating a new life
From a life lived in squalor

Can we be hunted
“Hypothetically?”, Yes
Like deer in season
Residing in the forest
Guilty without due process
