RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LATIN AMERICA
The Fall of Paraguay
Presidente Santiago Pena
Has fallen far from grace
His party and his nation
Abandoned in disgrace
Another Trump alliance
Struck down by mass corruption
People rise up in defiance
And threaten an eruption
He fell in love with power
No matter what it cost
His favors only soured
When his crooked funds were lost
His bank was a paradise
For grifters and for fraud
Santiago paid the price
When the bottom line was odd
Now he will go to jail
Like so many have before
His ship at last has sailed
Into Paraguayan lore
There’s a lesson for us all
If we’re willing to embrace it
The corrupt will always fall
All leaders one day face it
