RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
Friend of the Devil
When you invite the devil into your fold
Even with virtue’s intent
A story of evil must be retold
Concerning a past that was bent
It is not a secret or mystery
What our Agency did in the past
Destroying Latin American democracies
With promises that did not last
Now Daniel Noboa of Ecuador
Has opened the gates to his nation
To fight in America’s cocaine wars
A dark and dismal invitation
Sheinbaum of Mexico turned us down
But Noboa opened the door
So our darkest operators are on the ground
No one knows what lies in store
Maybe they’ll fight the drug cartels
But it comes with an obligation
This is how so many democracies fell
And became subservient nations
