Absurd Solutions to Self-Created Problems

One idea:
we line the road with our forces —
who receive little thanks —set fire
to the border, and make
an issue of who crosses.

A second idea:
we focus on the plight of those
who circumvent the rules,
come to depend on their labor,
create a crisis to secure their votes.

Another thought:
instead of trouncing the word of law —
our foundational principle — we could
find a solution with insight into
the problem, not merely the symptom.

I intended to avoid politics, but took
the easy way out. Hey, she did take the 
words from the evening news. 😉
