Bolivian President Evo Morales talks to a reporter as he sits next to Austrian President Heinz Fischer at Vienna’s Schwechat airport. Morales plane, en route from Moscow, Russia, where he attended an energy summit, to Bolivia, was denied refueling entry in France, Italy, Spain, and Portugal due to suspicion that the US whistleblower Edward Snowden was on the same plane. His plane had to make a forced landing in Vienna, Austria, where it was searched. Snowden was not on the plane. The Bolivian government accused the European governments of “kidnapping” and “aggression”. PHOTO/AP/Indian Express
Gringo can on our citizens spy
we promise that we will not cry
of course, we’ll make some noise
that is, attention-diverting ploys
they can our diplomatic offices bug
but we’ll give the Gringo a big hug
what’s the real reason, you’ll think
we say, friends, it’s the trade link
Where to? Edward Snowden has applied for asylum in Venezuela, Bolivia and 18 other countries, according to WikiLeaks, a secret spilling website that has been advising him PHOTO/Daily Mail
the brave guy who revealed this crime
we know is fighting against the time
many say we are morally obliged to aid
but we think more important is US trade
great Gringo’s puppy/policemen we are
orders we carry out of the Global Czar
we’ll deny airspace to all we’re told to
otherwise at us the Gringo will shout shoo
