(This poem can be sung to the melody of Neil Young’s 1970 song “Ohio.”)
A death in Minnesota.
Our country's feeling pain.
ICE has to meet its quota.
This has become insane.
Why are they doing this?
What are they trying to prove?
That they can push us all around?
It seems that they want
To always be on the move
To make each state a battleground.
They say they're trying
To make us safe. Oh, yes?
Safe from what is what one asks.
We all know whom
They are out to impress
With their guns and with their masks.
A death in Minnesota.
Our country's feeling pain.
ICE has to meet its quota.
This has become insane.
Have they no conscience?
Are they just heartless thugs
Sending a message that repeats?
Are they expecting
To get kisses and hugs
As they murder us on our streets?
A death in Minnesota.
Our country's feeling pain.
ICE has to meet its quota.
This has become insane.
