NO AGENDA DAT WE KNOW OF

Sep 19, 2020 Letters

By Tulsi Dyal

The fifth most important person
from the most powerful nation
ever known to planet Earth
is coming here to visit we.

No agenda dat we know of:
Suh we gon play trup-tral*,
sample El Dorado, and eat
curried duck and dhal-puri.

We not gon talk about Payara,
nothing, nothing about de PSA.
Ring-fencing visiting amnesia
and taxes always verboten.

Dat country to de west of us
wid three hundred billion plus of BOE,
named in Spanish for little Venice
is oft a thorn in somebody’s side.

Could it be dat we gon be accessory
to recapture the world’s greatest
volume of recoverable reserves,
only, solely for democracy?
