REGIME CHANGE
by Bill Kochman
12-15-2016
Of all the things humans have devised,
One shrewd ploy is a leader demonized.
You make him look so bad in the press,
You say his people he loves to oppress.
You paint that man as black as can be,
And then you go in with your own army.
Regime change is the order of the day,
It doesn’t matter what the locals say.
Y
ou have the power, so you’re the boss,
Those nationals will accept their loss.
After all, democracy is what you bring,
Oh my gosh; it has such a hollow ring.
