evil empire irony

When 1953 began
Iran’s oil annexation plan
Meant seizing our stuff
But the CIA’s tough
And installed the Shah as he-man
 
Since Iran’s parliament was dead
And Muslims brutally bled
The people rebelled
But what came next spelled
By an ayatollah they’d be led 
 
When exiled the Shah became sick
The U.S. was his treatment pick
The prick of this deal
Our embassy did feel
Where the hostage taking was quick

Every nation has greed, every green new deal has a money caveat, every government has a cluster of sell outs. America has more safeguards than any other nation. Still, we must beware of the forked tongue. God bless America. This poem has inspired me.
