Collected Poems 1947-1997 - Ginsberg Allen (книги серии онлайн .TXT) 📗
The whole operation fell into chaos
Till U.S. Intelligence came into Laos
I’ll tell you no lie I’m a true American
Our big pusher there was Phoumi Nosovan
All them princes in a power play
But Phoumi was the man for the CIA
And his best friend General Vang Pao
Ran our Meo army like a sacred cow
Helicopter smugglers filled Long Cheng’s bars
In Xieng Quang province on the Plain of Jars
It started in secret they were fighting yesterday
Clandestine secret army of the CIA
All through the Sixties the Dope flew free
Thru Tan Son Nhut Saigon to Marshal Ky
Air America followed through
Transporting confiture for President Thieu
All these Dealers were decades and yesterday
The Indochinese mob of the U.S. CIA
Operation Haylift offisir Wm. Colby
Saw Marshal Ky fly opium Mr. Mustard told me
Indochina desk he was Chief of Dirty Tricks
“Hitchhiking” with dope pushers was how he got his fix
Subsidizing traffickers to drive the Reds away
Till Colby was the head of the CIA
January 1972

N.S.A. Dope Calypso
Now Richard Secord and Oliver North
Hated Sandinistas whatever they were worth
They peddled for the Contras to ease their pain
They couldn’t sell Congress so Contras sold cocaine
They discovered Noriega only yesterday
Nancy Reagan & the CIA
Now coke and grass were exchanged for guns
On a border airfield that John Hull runs
Or used to run till his Costa Rican bust
As a CIA spy trading Contra coke dust
They discovered Noriega only yesterday
Nancy Reagan & the CIA
Ramon Milian Rodriguez of Medellin Cartel
Laundered their dollars & he did it very well
Hundreds of millions through U.S. banks
Till he got busted and sang in the tank
It was buried in the papers only yesterday
When Bush was Drug Czar U.S.A.
Milian told Congress $3,000,000 coke bucks
Went to Felix Rodriguez, CIA muck-a-muck
To give to the Contras only Hush Hush Hush
Except for Donald Gregg & his boss George Bush
Buried in the papers only yesterday
With Bush Vice President U.S.A.
Rodriguez met Bush in his office many times
They didn’t talk business, they drank lemon & limes
Or maybe they drank coffee or they smoked a cigarette
But cocaine traffic they remembered to forget
It was buried in the papers only yesterday
And Bush got in the White House of the U.S.A.
Now when Bush was director of the C.I.A.
Panama traffic in coke was gay
You never used to hear George Bush holler
When Noriega laundered lots of cocaine dollar
Bush paid Noriega, used to work together
They sat on a couch & talked about the weather
Then Noriega doublecrossed his Company pal
With a treaty taking back our Panama Canal
So when he got into the big White House
Bush said Noriega was a cocaine louse
The Cold War ended, East Europe found hope
The U.S. got hooked in a war on dope
Glasnost came, East Europe got free
So Bush sent his army to Panama City
Bush’s guns in Panama did their worst
Like coke fiends fighting on St. Marks & First
Does Noriega know Bush’s Company crimes?
In 2000 A.D. read the New York Times.
January-February 1990

Just Say Yes Calypso
When Schwarzkopf’s Father busted Iran’s Mossadegh
They put in the Shah and his police the Savak
They sucked up his oil, but got Ayatollah’s dreck
So Thirty years later we hadda arm Iraq
Though he used poison gas, Saddam was still our man
But to aid the Contras, hadda also arm Iran
Mesopotamia was doing just fine
Till the Ottoman Empire blew up on a mine
They had apple orchards in Eden and Ur
Till the Snake advised George Bush “This land is yours”
The Garden foul’d up, brimstone came down
In the good old days we had plenty ozone
The British & Americans & Frenchmen all
Took concessions in the Garden So the Garden took a fall
Got addicted to Emirs and their fossil fuels
Police state Sheiks & Intelligence ghouls
The Sphinx lost his nose, acid ate the Parthenon
Pretty soon the Persian Gulf is dead and gone
The Saudi desert bloomed with oil pipe lines
To push the auto industry It’s yours & it’s mine
