Texas Fences

Bush’s folly, a costly border fence
Built along the mighty Rio Grande
Small farmers have no real defense
For their Eminent Domained land

There are a wealthy few exempt
Like Ray L Hunt, a big oil tycoon
Reason he and others are preempt
They’re in Bush old boy commune

Fences end where rich folks live
And some golf courses along the way
Commoners told to sacrifice and give
Or sued and fined to make them pay

“All men are created equal” is a lie
Change cannot happen till we unify
