the promise of 2026

The promise of 2026

It is beginning with the capture of Maduro
totally illegal, but normal for a criminal America
The Venezuelan elite has taken the golden coins
selling out their country for a few shillings more
Honesty does not count in a world ruled by greed
The people of Europe have a stark choice to join 
Thieves and the corrupt vote them into office 
and hope pocket money will fall their way 
The dream of equality and justice is a dream 
The poor are useful idiots who believe what 
The wealthy say and are fooled again and again
To survive, we have to join the criminals
