They came - - -
at break of dawn - - -
in full battle regalia;
bearing arms,
tear gas, automatic rifles
and pistols - - -
swinging batons.
They kicked in the door,
storming into the room,
waving the guns,
threatening.
Huddled in the closet,
the child in his arms,
screaming, crying, terrified.
"hand over the kid
or I'll shoot!"
Grabbing the child
from the protection of his arms,
they ran from the house,
leapt into the car
and sped away.
In the house there was
much gnashing of teeth,
wringing of hands . . .
Was this Nazi Germany,
1939?
No - - -
Miami, Florida - - - USA
in the year 2000
