Caracas
Caracas! we shout, in solidarity
with volatile Venezuela
Caracas! la capital,
raped by capital
which spreads cancerous gametes on the global scale
Caracas! sounds like
the cry of a condor
swoops, seeking out prey
its sight captures the coup
Caracas! city squawking
as chickens run from their coops
strangled by their white collars
and unquenchable thirst for dollars;
they lay eggs no more
Caracas! debilitated
punctured by the almighty phallus
ever defiant of equality
ever striving to compete, to conquer
to cause interminable growth
and sprout trees to be turned to green paper
Caracas! resist the resisters!
they are not revolutionaries, not pardos!
they hold not your interests at heart!
they are but wealthy white business elites
who refuse to share their hoarded wealth with you,
o militant Chavistas, progressive populists,
do resist the realm of global capitalism!
