If You Remember
Someday you will laugh about this, dear darkened
Venezuela: minerals and your people’s
gracious spirit haven’t been stolen, only
hidden from bandits.
Soon all those who sadly have left their country
can return to spread around smiles they carried
with them for you in their long exile - you must
only remember
verdant gardens, elegant living, happy
children safe from hunger and ruin. And you’ll
never yield your trust to a “strong man” bully
if you remember.
