If Our Love is a Nation

If our love is a nation
I'll reissue your passport
For a share of my backtaxes.
But I must warn you:
If you impose another tariff on my exports;
I will most certainly revoke your citizenship.

If our love is a nation
I'll give up the armed forces
If you abandon the courts.
But I insist for our interest:
Instant improvement in the institute of immigration,
If we are to keep our borders secure.

If our love is a nation
I'll give up my capitalist rhetoric
If you weaken your dictatorship.
But I make due demand:
We must immediately re-call the minister of communications;
He has spent far too much time in Tahiti.

Borderguards wait outside your front door.
Landmines and probes coat your kitchen floor.
Dogs sniff your bags before your latest vacation.
That’s the price you pay – when your love is a nation.
