When the troops
get their poop at Fort Bragg
how to frag
Sandinistas
Leftist Nicas
or go bomb
Guatamalan
Indians
Make a tomb
for men & boys
ending joys
of villages
and pillage
or burn down
to the ground
little huts
where pigs rut
This costs much
tax money as such
for an error
of red terror
Hypocrisy
is the key
to self defeating
prophecy
Genia Yevtushenko
Ernesto Cardenal
Allen Ginsberg
Rocknroll
sentimental
& reliable
& poetical
& prophetical
Therefore urge
Washington
& havana men
to relax
& reflect
that the ax
on th eneck
of Nicaragua's
a big error
of war fever
Double bind
makes us blind
to self fulfilling
prophecy-
If you're willing,
love your eye
& your ear
mad with fear
Hypocrisy
is the key
to self fulfilling
prophecy
You can bet
Marxist threat
starts with that
self fulfilling
prophecy
if you're willing
to admit
that the threat
of invasion
of a nation
might cause them
great alarm,
Make them arm
to resist,
mobilize
to insist
they will fight
back all right-
Then to condemn
their armed men
and not molli-
fy their fears
is sheer folly
O my dears!
Hypocrisy
is the key
to self fulfilling
prophecy
United States
you're the greatest
Superdick
your big stick
& big mouth
North & South
causes fear -
Armies near
and armies far
or army talk
wherever you are
makes folks here
think you're queer
Big gun boats
that you float,
big rumors
that you dote
on will be quot-
ed in Managua
Santiago
Buenos Aires
& Havana
as more dread
threat of war
and Central
America will
Mobilize
militarize and devise
a defense,
it's common sense.
Then to complain
that their plan
to fight back
is a pain in the neck
of the Pentagon -
Washington
is crazy, Man.
Hypocrisy
is the key
to self fulfilling
prophecy-
If you're willing-
costs an eye
and an ear
mad with fear
