imransuleiman:On a border between two StatesSomeone has written,“Fuck your nationalism.We are all Earthlings.”And on the Mexican border,Someone has ripped through a fenceOf reinforced chicken wireWith bolt cutters,And erected a hammockBy suspending itBetween two of the fence’sConcrete pillars.After swinging gently back and forth,From Texas to Mexico and thenFrom Mexico back to Texas,They doze off; contemptuousOf the security guardsPatrolling this artificial demarcation –For, once upon a time,Texas was MexicoAnd Texas didn’t exist.When Eugene Debs was imprisonedFor conscientious objection in World War OneHe said, on September 11th 1915,“I have no country to fight forMy country is the earthI’m a citizen of the world.”– Heathcote Williams, “No Borders” -- source link
