the new sanctuary city

the city has become a sanctuary
city.
anyone can come
and hide out.
no one will touch you
if you're
a drug dealer
or murderer,
or just here illegally
coming over or under
the fence
along the border.
we have churches and schools
where you can live
in underground shelters,
and lie low
until the heat is off.
car jackings are permissible,
as are
kidnappings
and sex trafficking.
looting, no problem here.
we will protect your rights.
but in addition to that,
stray birds and wildlife
are now included in
the sanctuary policy.
rabies, no problem,
chickens with the bird flu,
come on in.
bats that have escaped
the wang fu lab
in China, fly on over.
vultures looking for an easy
meal, step right up
and make your nest on
the tallest building you
can find.
black bears 
and poisonous snakes
are welcome.
as are displaced coyotes
and beavers looking for
trees to gnaw down.
come one come all,
we love you.
we want to be your safe
and secure town.
