RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
Argentinian Compromise
Between a steamroller and a boulder
The Argentinians are in crisis
The prospects are growing colder
With their inflationary prices
On one side looms the dragon
The full forces of oppression
Put your pesos in their wagon
You will be headed for depression
On the other is the autocrat
The unvarnished force of greed
If this is where your country’s at
Argentina is bound to bleed
The land with a tortured history
Is a land in desperate need
With a leader who is lost
And who will pay most any cost
To maintain his hold on power
Despite the welfare of the nation
As we approach the final hour
That will define their destination
