Taking Venezuela

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS

 

Taking Venezuela

 

Trump wants more real estate

That’s what America should do

He wanted Greenland as the 51st state

Now he wants Venezuela too

 

He believes the people love him

Everywhere he sets his sights

There is no greater one above him

He is the guardian of the light

 

But the people do not feel that way

Though at times they may accede

They understand an ego play

They appreciate his greed

 

But they won’t give up their nation

To appease his grandiose plans

Their right to self-determination

They won’t fail to make a stand

 

Do not discount a people’s pride

They remember who they are

They won’t be taken for a ride

They remember Bolivar
