RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: WORLD DEMOCRACY
Strongmen of Nicaragua
Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo
Rule the nation with an iron fist
A growing number of desaparecido
Their names were on a list
They disappear their adversaries
Like their predecessors did before
No telling where the bodies are buried
It’s a part of the nation’s lore
It’s an endless fight for liberty
In the nations below the border
They pray the soldiers let them be
They plead for law and order
But the government is the problem
They have guns and they have power
The courts cannot absolve them
When it comes to the reckoning hour
They are cursed to live in darkness
Until the light comes shining through
Like a hawk trapped in its nest
Until the day it finally flew
