Mindy Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 (edited) When the AZ SB1080 was first all over the news, I dashed off a poem--started as lyrics, but I never got around to the music. I've sent it to AZ government officials, and leaders of the pro-SB1080 groups I could locate. Feel free to make use of it if you are inclined to "do something" on the issue. "Bravely Arizona" It's a dangerous world, Law and order are at risk, There are suicide bombers, And a No-Fly List. Our homes and lives are threatened, Our hopes and dreams erased, 'Til, bravely, Arizona, Puts illegals in their place. Illegal is illegal! Immigration has a pace. You may come to Arizona IF you're legal, That's our case. While the Feds take a siesta, Arizonans pay the price, And if Obama had his way, He'd put AZ on ICE! The Fed is not our master, And safe borders are a must, So, bravely, Arizona Steps up to do what's just. Illegal is illegal, Immigration has a pace. You may come to Arizona IF you're legal, Any race... You may come to Arizona If you're legal, Share our grace... You may come to Arizona IF you're legal, We'll make space. -- Mindy Newton Edited July 24, 2010 by Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
softwareNerd Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 I guess a poem deserves a poem in response... Illegal is illegal,... Illegal is illegal, That's the most I can say; How dare we question The majority's say. If they pass a law to screw you That is legal... so it's right; Quietly bend over Don't dare put up a fight.

Mindy Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Somewhere out in cyber space a point has been lost... Would that be the point at which two lines would have intersected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
