Strategically seasoned

Next month it's Iran, that's invited China for tea,
to Sinopec, they've offered the Yadavaran oil field, strategic in glee,
Iran says to China, develop our fields for free,
Just agree, from me, to buy 10 million tons of LNG.

With jaws dropped, out maneuvered, will be,
The US and Europe, sidelined you’ll see,
Mosedeigh was much easier, they blink and then think,
Than these Shiite’s, so willing, to take nukes to the brink.

But there’s more for Mr Bush, that Iran has in store,
Seems Tehran’s also looking, south of the boarder for more,
Talks with Venezuela and Cuba, are warmer than ever,
Tehran offers Chavez, nuclear notes, oh so clever.

Again the Nuclear threat, south of Washington’s boarder,
instead of just Castro’s Havana, it’s The New South American Order,
So history rhymes, but not this time with Khrushchev,
Now it’s the terrorists, so much more elusive.

These days South America, is under great change,
Where the Spanish and Italian’s, planted grapes on the range,
There’s now a growing black market, trafficking money and gun,
and with Hezbollah in the triangle, South America is not such fun.

Yes, Iran has become, strategically seasoned,
With chess lessons from Russia, it’s clear energy’s the reason,
That countries will go, to the lengths that they do,
To compromise ethics, in the name of me and you.
