RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Santiago Falls
Jose Antonio Kast
Brings back shadows of the past
The ghost of Pinochet
Has come back to haunt Chile
A campaign of law and order
A promise to protect the border
Rising crime and deportation
Mounting fear and desperation
We cannot predict the future
But we can warn about the past
As the future travels nearer
Our dread grows deep and vast
Recall the disappeared
Remember the oppression
The iron fist of fear
Has Chile learned her lesson?
Or is she now condemned
To repeat her sordid past?
On this man you’ll depend
To break his fascist cast
