You’ve got a friend…

Drone Man “tagged” you in a note
He wants you to get out the vote
Like tubes down a “detainee” throat
You’ve got a friend…
by Raymond Nat Turner
Hawkishly watching your “activity log”
Like shadows of the groundhog
Or barks of a German Police dog
Eying your “posts” and “news feed”
Ogling ads and messages you read
Protecting freedoms: wars for greed
Drone Man wants to be your “friend”
“Like” the trillions his wars spend
“Like” his wars until they end…
“Comment” after clicking “like”
“Post” your dislikes and your “likes”
“Like” his new signature strikes!
Drone Man “tagged” you in a note
He wants you to get out the vote
Like tubes down a “detainee” throat
Drone Man asks, “What’s on your mind?”
To put you in his Gitmo bind—
He’ll say, “Update your status”
As he keeps comin’ at us
With the STATE APPARATUS!
