TOC goes the watch
upon his wrist,
see him tremble
at the gate?

'coup d'etat'
now seals his fate

i recall
a day of gloom
due to terror
in the skies
with alerts
still on the rise.

K-LACK go the weapons that attack
aimed by rebels on the run
no more dancin' in the sun
are the peace roots
firmly placed?

Aristocracy disgraced. . .

SPLASH!
count the cost as pools of blood
turn the soils to crimson mud
while the Power Washington
turns back Haitians on the run,

aren't they tired of the terror?

was your President in error?
