BORDER WAR DRUGS

The guns gangs use are All American
sold via FBI agents or corrupt police
The drugs are largely like coyotes
(bound for work in America-illegals)
The bodies are ours-civilians
caught in the crossfire of politics
Women,children,witnesses-
mass graves of journalists
We see the problem as "over there"
Bullets lodge in our Town Halls
Coyotes laugh at immigration laws
Bodies pile along our borders
The drug of power buys silence
Those are American bodies
American guns,American drugs
There is no border when it comes to life
Either we will live-or we will die
This is our problem.Drugs,guns,border wars-
how will we stay alive?
