Paying For Their Own Oppression

Cause of third world debt partly result
Of the hard unjust transfer of
The debts brunt of the colonizing states
At a very high interest rates

Also incurred as the rich countries

Loaned the dictators or corrupt leaders
To suit and support their interests

They are paying for their own oppression
The poor suffer while the rich get richer

In some cases they have borrowed money
To pursue conflicts or arms deals
And need to increase illegal drug trade
Or to milk the earth’s resources for the cash
Cut back on social health or employment
Environment and education

No less devastating than
A war
