Why Stay?

So long, Mrs. Flores. A phalanx
Of fascists has come into view.
They're bent on ejecting all of the young
And ambitious, the people who actually
Work, from this country. Then, afterward,
Who will be left? The addicts and cripples,
People so old that they're no longer able
To care for themselves. Why would
Someone want to stay here? I'm thinking,
May I be deported, too?
