I'm concerned about the situation
That our county's in today
With the illegal immigrants playing
Around the borders edge


I'm concerned for my people
Not those from other lands
Who seek to steal our flag
For this I'll take a stand


My children have to live here
And take the consequence
Of the actions of our government
Who aren't making very much sense


Are they taking into consideration
Those who've worked so hard
To earn their rightful place
In America's great back yard


It surely seems to me
That all they care about
Is to keep the illegals here
They listen to THEIR shout


America's voice is silenced
By the waving of the Mexican flag
I guess it holds more meaning
To our officials of today


I'm very disappointed
In those who lead our country
Are they really thinking
Of us...their own

I know this poem is going to be
controversial. Please do not write
to me about it. Send your thoughts
and ideas along to God.

It's only HE who can make this right.

It's only HE who knows what's right,
and it's only through the Power of
Prayer that our country's officials
will ultimately make the right
decisions. This poem merely reflects
some of my fears of the future.
