For Cliven Bundy and his Citizen Soldiers
citizen soldiers where are you
when the poor need protection
when children are battered or beaten
by big brother or bullies
citizen soldiers where are you
when white men hurl insults
and bottles at women with skin
the color of the boots
with which you kick and stomp
their sons
citizen soldiers where are you
when the country you claim
comes first, comes last
for everyone but your kind
citizen soldiers where are you
when your constitution is colored
not by compromise or care
but by fear and despair
citizen soldiers, gather
like cattle with your cloven shepard
in the desert and claim
that country for your own
and stay there
