No Sanctuary

Liberals love them—then they don’t.
And live to help them (till they won’t).
Neighbors fresh from Guatemala;
Salvador or Nicaragua…
Fleeing failed drug-plantations
U.S-sponsored situations;
Where corruption harvests fruits,
Doling out the business suits.
United Fruit Co. on the skids
Allen Dulles’ bastard kids . . .
For Arbenz overthrown, and worse
Our wicked past has caused this curse:
The training/arming of their thugs
Snorting about a War on Drugs…
Inform yourself on how this started
You, so smugly openhearted:
Aid diversity’s expansion—
House them in your sumptuous mansion.
Not to cut your grass, or build
but more to get their dream fulfilled
Since Allen Dulles owns the guilt
Destroying when we should have built
And sending troops to bananeros,
Lauding them as valiant heroes
For repressing Mayan peasants.
Help them now unwrap their presents.

Raya’s Dragonflies


I had the privilege of meeting and getting to know this author :

https://www.rayakhedker.com/about

Having grown up in a multicultural atmosphere (several years living in East Africa and later, marrying my Central American wife and speaking Spanish at home), I found her autobiographic novel series both relevant and captivating. Of course, it helps that she is friendly, sincere, and witty—and that we met in the line of our current profession while on a job…

I recommend her writing to you. If you are curious, read the first chapter here:

That’s what hooked me! Check out her Dragonfly series, available at Amazon.
