Él Dijo, “I Fought the Law and the Law Lost”

The mucho macho, hard-nosed, hard-assed,

Tough-as-nails skinhead, don’t mess with me

Or my posse,

 

Protecting the boarder which ain’t

Anywhere around, chief law-enforcement officer

Who waxes poetically, politically way right of

Center correct

 

Stands by his vow, but apparently not his man,

To uphold the law of the land

When he allegedly swore an oath

To deport his amigo Mexicano in

A tit-for-tat domestic disagreement. (Where

Did that sexy photo of the out of uniform senor mucho

Guapo y el amor come from?)

 

Oh, hey, a high profile Republican gay, oye! ole!

 

“This is my private life!” cried the guy whose virile

Private life went viral. These guys just keep denying karma

Or are they just crying, por favor?

 

Ay! no, not for such a public, high-minded, higher office,

Publicity seeker who

Promotes family values. Qué les pasa con ustedes totos?

 

Ditat Deus – “God Enriches,” cried Hannah. Ditat Deus is inscribed

On  the Arizona flag.  But  Hannah cried again, “God Humbles.”

And then God enriches and then there was

Samuel, the Gift from a barren womb. Creatio ex nihilo!

 

So, maybe the flag-waving sheriff

Should take a hike in the Pinal Mountains and make

Friends with a kinder, gentler sort of wild life for a while,

Eat humble pie for about forty-days,

And come down and get real.

 

Adios para un tiempo poco, mi amigo.  Si, adios

Para ahora — for a little while and then,

Bienvenido, be enriched, embrace yourself, who you

Are created to be, your freedom

And God’s great future.
