lyrics

how many ways to sell
the tired packaged white man’s burden
from open arms of her majesty
to the smoke of Santiago streets
and at fifteen years
do you make a kid aware
that their entire life
has been engulfed
in factions and struggles and juntas devolving
without ever knowing
obscured in the open
ignored by definition
because it is somewhere else
and one does not look beyond
the branches of its own stunted elm
unless for resource
so the roots dug deep into the mire
beneath the loamy skin tones
beneath the Tropic of Cancer
at the crux of fruitlessness
at the genesis
to instability’s foundation
where the chemotherapy offered
is the same essence as the infection

“History does not repeat itself, but it delights in patterns and symmetries. When the stories of American “regime change” operations are taken together, they reveal much about why the United States overthrows foreign governments and what consequences it brings on itself by doing so. They also teach lessons for the future.”
--Stephen Kinzer “Overthrow” (2006)
