RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Nicaragua: El Gran Dictador
He promised prosperity for all
He delivered a police state
His adversaries are in jail
He has stolen their land
He has taken their citizenship
He has sent them into exile
Yet his people live in poverty
The poor and the elderly
And condemned to the streets
The physically and mentally challenged
Have lost all support
The government controls everything
From religious institutions
To social gatherings
They control the military
They control the police
They control the judiciary
They control the media
The economy is crippled
His servants are corrupt
Once they were revolutionaries
They fought against Samoza
Now they become what they opposed
The oppressors
The abusers
The lost
Ortega is the new Samoza
The great dictator
El Gran Dictador
