ICE Raid on Emiliano's

 ICE RAID ON EMILIANO'S

They drove up

            In a yellow U-Haul van.

Its back door flew open

            And a gang of masked men

                        Dressed in camo

            And waving assault guns

                        Leaped out,

                                    Ran for our door,

And smashed through it with a battering ram.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Poured through our shattered door

And rampaged throughout

            Our family restaurant.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Overturned tables,

                        Threw food on the floor,

And drove our screaming customers out.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Smashed through our office door,

                        Destroyed everything inside,

And swung a sledgehammer on our safe.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Invaded our kitchen,

                        Swinging sledgehammers

                                    On everything,

Leaving a trail of wreckage,

            Demolition,

                        Devastation, and

                                    Destruction.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Seized everyone they saw,

                        Herded them,

            Crying and screaming,

                        Into the yellow U-Haul van,

            Then slammed its door.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Drove away with our people,

                        Crying and screaming,

            Packed in the van

Like sardines in a can.

            **********

The gang of masked men

            Gathered up their guns,

                        Their battering rams,

             Their sledgehammers,

And said to us left behind,

            "We'll be back

                        To finish the job."
