RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Venezuelan Tragedy
We remember Hugo Chavez
The leader of the working class
A man of the people
The Bolivarian revolution
Many times the capitalist forces
The imperialist forces
Led by the CIA
Tried and failed to depose him
Despite all their efforts to discredit him
Chavez had the support of the people
He handed his reign to Nicolas Maduro
And for a time it seemed to hold
But the forces of corruption overwhelmed
He became what Chavez would not
A corrupt leader who no longer cared
For the welfare of the poor
Whose love of power became him
Whose commitment to democracy waned
Maduro lost the recent election
He covered up the fraud
When the Carter Center turns against you
Your cause is lost
When the people turn against you
You must go
The Bolivarian revolution may rise again
We pray that it is so
But it will not be led by Maduro
The people have said no
