Banana Man

This is actually a song about Guatemala

Banana man
Come and take the land
No one can stay
No a farmer hand

You have it all
The markets stall
So we but it back
The president is called

The coup begins
For it's a sin
Thanks CIA
Goodbye Arbenz

Banana man
Come and take the land
A war has broke out
By your crooked hand

The civil war
Came to fill the store
With bananas
Just bananas

Banana man
Come and take the land
A war has broke out
By your crooked hand

Banana man
Banana man
Banana man
200,000
Banana man

Fantastic poem, and you've really captured the essence of your topic. Gritty and hard-edged, and you've managed to hit on that kind of simplicity that really works in a poem - not too much and not too little. Really like this piece. Well done.
