Argo, the Ship of Starch

.

Hollywood Argo creators
are like starching a shirt
good till you start sweating
then limps away drowning
in their lies we DO know
why hostages were taken in Iran
and American’s Secret Government
that disposed Iran’s duly elected leader
and Ronald Reagan’s per-election deal
that the hostages would not be released
until he won and Iran/Contra:
“drugs for arms”
THAT dog has no tail to wag

history
may be written by the victors
but time, given,
writes the truth

now the victims want reparations
and i say, “go to the house on the hill,
they, and only they, owe you(.)
