Amexico

Too near the shadow of the stolen North,
Too near contagion of electoral fraud,
The Mexican tribunal has held forth
To crown Felipe Calderón their lord.

Spreading southward like virulent infection,
That galling shadow of the North's enthrall
Tutors in subtly stealing an election,
The next appalling fellow to install.

"The candidate that obtained the most votes"
Should have been Lopez Obrador (AMLO),
Not him on whom the Bush administration dotes
In those "United States of Mexico."
