Sense Sonnet - Steamer

Corrupt in Afghanistan (C.I.A.)

U.S. taxpayers pay to play
The old game in Afghanistan.
Star player is the C.I.A.
To bribe Karzai to be the man
To head the puppet government,
And do the bidding of U.S.
Is all the bribing cash well spent?
How well's pay going - wanna guess?
Iran, Iraq - we paid the price.
Syria looks ripe for game on
To bribe the folks who will be nice,
Until they're not - they know the con.

More hush money for coverups.
U.S. power ever corrupts.
