RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
Cuba Waits
The threat hangs in the air
The example of Caracas
It could happen anywhere
When there is no mutual trust
Now they wait in great fear
The beast looms like a terror
It comes nearer and nearer
They can hear the beast roar
They are not the dark knight
They do not attack others
They do not seek a fight
They would like to be brothers
They are different from us
They’re a socialist nation
They all ride the same bus
They all use the same station
They are not a democracy
That is a great shame
They are in essence an autocracy
And for that there is blame
Yet they work for their own
For the progress of all
They do not walk alone
And they don’t need a wall
Another war of choice
In our own backyard
Would silence their voice
It would go down hard
