Poppies and Thieves © R. Leschen (9 November 2006)=
In the hills of Gu=
errero
where a land meets the sky,
Compadres sit =
idle
while their hearts slowly rise,
Once there was ple=
nty
and children of joy,
Now poppies and th=
ieves
are out on the streets.
On one side the de=
vil
and/or the CIA,
Me inco=
gnito
deployed to survey,
The drugs from the=
south
pulled to the north,
I watched and repo=
rted
kept my hand in my mouth.
Seniorita Carmen Diaz I gav=
e you
my eyes,
Turned
my heart outward unveiled my disguise,
Now
you watch in pleasure and gain some delight,
As
they open my skin and burn out my lights.
In
the hills of Guerrero where fire greets the sky,
I
lost my vision and a will to survive,
If
I would advise I’d tell ya my friend,
Be
low and be warned of Seniorita Carmen,
Be
low and be warned la Seniorita Carmen,
Con cuidado mis amigos
