RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: BRAZIL
Rio in Red
A Brazilian flag is stained in red
After Rio’s deadly raid
Hundreds of bodies lying dead
All hope begins to fade
The favelas are in mourning
So many people dead
It came without a warning
Leaving only fear and dread
Who ordered this abomination?
This massacre of men
Was it meant to cause sensation?
Are they prepared to do it again?
Castro ordered the slaughter
The governor of the state
The people were cannon fodder
They met a gruesome fate
He accused them of narco terror
An accusation that covers all
No trials. What could be fairer?
Line em up against the wall
Is this the way of the world now?
Justice belongs to the strong
We do not ask why or how
We know in our hearts it’s wrong
