Another country has a coup,
Which really isn’t
something new,
And no-one should look on
aghast
If they have had them in
the past.
In many places it’s the
rule,
A coup is seen as rather
cool;
Elections never bring a
change,
So colonels frequently arrange,
Often while he is abroad
To oust the presidential
horde.
They may then govern for a
while
In normal military style,
Until they feel that
they’re compelled
To say elections should be
held,
And then the people can
elect,
The man the army chiefs
select.
Dictators often tend to
stay
Forever if they have their
way;
And it’s usually true of
course
The army is the only force
With any hope they can
achieve
The aim to make the
leader leave..
So they plot a coup they
hope
Will be successful, giving
scope
To take control and once
again,
Install more sympathetic
men.
But if it fails they can
expect
Retribution to take
effect.
