2016 Venezuela Crisis Alarms My Curiosity

YOU WERE WARNED, THE BOLIVAR WOULD CRASH.
DESTRUCTION OF WEALTH TOOK PLACE AT LAST.

DID YOU DO, WHAT YOU WERE TOLD.
INVEST YOUR BOLIVAR IN SILVER AND GOLD.

TODAY YOU HAVE JUST RICH AND POOR.
MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE EXIST NO MORE.

YOU MUST STAND, IN ORDER TO FIGHT.
IMPOSED STARVATION IS CONSIDERED A RIGHT.

STARVE THE MASSES, POPULATION CONTROL.
YOU CAN SLAVE FOR THE RICH, IF YOU DO WHAT YOUR TOLD.

WITH CHAOS AND MAYHEM THROUGH OUT THE LAND.
THE RICH DON'T CARE WHAT THE POOR DEMAND.
