Along the border of my peaceful life
a war is sprawling
dragging the world
into blood and mud
over oil in the Persian Gulf
north of here
goons patrol PHL
as gas prices gallop
Masked men are scouting the airport crowds
demand IDs
harass me
I give them my best
stone face
expand my voice
in this deteriorated
landscape
go local
march with millions
until the war profiteers
representing me
are voted out
and the fence of our Constitution
is restored
along the border of my peaceful life
