Destination Cuba (20)

Destination Cuba

A killer drone once destroyed a building close to me
Okay I’m not a Christian, why would I ever be
When many a Christian country is the source of misery
What happens at destination Cuba?

I haven’t made a bomb for years, these days peace is my scene
I’m just a simple shepherd now, married and a has-been
My children fear a drone attack, or something in-between
What happens at destination Cuba?

I know about rendition, they can take you in your sleep
And send you to be tortured by some evil looking creep
Hoping for a confession or knowledge on the cheap
What happens at destination Cuba?

Pray tell me how America fell victim to such might
These days I am a shepherd, I have given up the fight
I’m devoted to my family, yet we cannot sleep at night
What happens at destination Cuba?

There is no judge and jury when they launch a killer drone
Primed with crazy explosives aiming to blow up some home
Or else they choose rendition, they will not leave you alone
What happens at destination Cuba?

When my body has been buried and my family have moved on
And an angel has decided who is right and who is wrong
I am hoping a folk singer will not need to sing this song
What happens at destination Cuba?

The End
