SONG OF THE SOVIET SOUL

Good Luis Ignacio da Silva.
Old slogans just never die, eh?
The imperialist running dog should
“stop encouraging war in Ukraine!”

Maybe Lula doesn’t believe
Putin is a neo-imperialist,
bareback-riding
hydrocarbon billionaire.

The hard left and hard right
keep tiptoeing around
fascist territory,
flirting with dictatorship.

Let’s ask Lula
if he would
mind very much
if three of his neighbors

(any three will do)

attack northern Brazil
to save their brethern,
the indigenous peoples
of the Amazon basin?
