Iran-Contra

Iran-contra,
Reagon dealing arms
to forbidden Iran...

in hopes to free hostages,
fund Nicaraguan rebels....
Contras, torture, assassinations,

kidnapping, even women and children...
fighting without rules...human rights violated...
overthrow the regime...

and U.S. control expands....
Iran, birthing terror threats,
and nuclear possibilities....

fixed on Israel!
meanwhile, money free and flowing,
jobs up, easy credit...

the American people blindly
buy and sell and follow....
profit, possessions, and stupor!
