Orchid Flower Window Shopping


aloha poets,
                     Window shopping flower orchid inspires today;s poem.
Enjoy play on!

State Border Cross Law Crosses Federal Law Line


Police surveillance holds Arizona at gunpoint
Battles power to entice immigrants to anoint
Broken system in federal law's jurisdiction
Licks the wounds of the hand's best fiction


At present puts legally present aliens at risk
Reasonable cause causes police to say "tsk tsk"
Patchwork of policy makes government seem quirky
Reasonable suspicion by those not listening births anarchy


It's fair to say this thing is out of hand before the fat lady sings
On the eve of destruction judge's instruction is babes and blings
Unprecedented resources sent by the feds for a problem to tackle
Stops for coffee and donuts as immigration law awaits its shackle


In case you haven't noticed this little poem gets longer and longer
As the fight between the Federal v State gets stronger and stronger
What once was a routine poem goes viral and gets way out of hand
As if Federal Traffic Violation Immigration laws spiral across this land


Can anybody stop the melee or is this thing just going to grow and grow?
In broader rulings than precedents allow immigration law looks like "Ho Ho"
Where are the messengers in senate and congress to tell of the effects of local life?
"Injunctions on the grounds" is all immigration law gets as Arizona police endure strife
