RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
The People’s Voice (Columbia)
Columbians will face a choice
It is not a simple left or right
The vote will speak the people’s voice
We must hope they see the light
Ivan Cepeda is the people’s man
He believes in social justice
With the government he’ll make a stand
They know exactly who he is
De La Espriella is the outsider
He claims no corporate sponsors
His appeal could not be wider
He is not your simple lawyer
Both believe in better healthcare
Schools and housing for the poor
Both claim their cause is true and fair
But De La Espriella favors war
A war on armed resistance groups
And prisons for the masses
Despite his vows of greater truth
He’ll forget the lower classes
