RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
The Venezuelan Tragedy
It is a sad and dreary history
The CIA backed operations
The torture and the travesties
The Bolivarian Revolution
Alleviation of mass poverty
The backlash of institutions
A betrayal of democracy
A reversal of solutions
Corruption and collusion
Hugo Chavez had it right
When he embraced social democracy
He kept the workers in his sight
Til he was tempted by autocracy
When Maduro took the reigns
He enacted one-man rule
It became an old refrain
Oppression cold and cruel
Had Chavez lived who knows?
His cause might have remained true
But now the discontent grows
When they win the people lose
The democratic movement slows
Their elections are a ruse
The Americans are landing blows
The Venezuelans are abused
