What happened? Oh wait I remember A president was elected But we didn't get him Instead we a got a dictatorial regime. Freedom of speech was the first right to go Slowly but surely Prisoners of war Accumulated in the prisons. College kids and Activists Beaten, ***** shot, ridiculed. They might as well have been tarred and feathered How sick do you have to be to shoot at a girl Sitting With her eyes closed Crying for her country? How sick do you have to be to paralyze a 15 year old boy Walking With the rest of us For his future? And don't get me started on the grandpa Who was marching with his grandchildren Or the violinist Dedicating a tune to his country All trying To escape from this country Plagued by insecurity, inflation, and corruption. The only thing we have left Is a small scrap of hope.
