                                                                                        …and who paid for the raid?

 

I. …Discord
Search for discord splashing from anchors
dropping
into The Motherland’s West Coast waters;
Search for discord sown as wild oats between
Black thighs pried
apart like clockwork by serial rapists—AKA
The Founding Fathers—The Framers…
Search for discord sown by bullwhip/buckshot sowers on
horseback… Search for discord sown in hemp scents of
thick ropes fashioned into nooses; Search for
discord sown from
flickering torches of white-sheeted nightriders; Search for
discord sown in Mississippi driveways; Chicago bedrooms;
Audubon Ballrooms; Lorraine Motel balconies; UCLA
lunchrooms; L.A. gas stations—or lethal traffic Stops
littering history— You’ll find Discord in all his Jim Crow
crimson splendor; all his unabashed, unabated violence!

Discord?
Discord’s seeds are blowing in the wind beneath Assault
Right wings; Its flames fanned by Fox-box foot soldiers,
Psy-Op masters of misinformation, disinformation,1/2 truths,
Big Lies— parroting the Porcine Doctrine of capital— 24/7!
Ungodly sons/daughters of Dr. Goebbels—exercising checks
and balances—six-figure checks into ballooning balances…

Who gave the official word for Theater of The
Absurd—who paid for the raid—
weaponized words complimenting covert war?
Was it Mr. Magoo? His oh-so ‘clueless’ crew?
Acting incapacitated by strains of J6 Flu?

Other than Osage, Sioux, Tocobagan,
Missouri, Illini Peoples, who paid for the raid?
Ashanti, Fulani, Ibo, Yoruba, Wolof Peoples?
Afghan, Iraqi, Iranian, Vietnamese, Japanese?
Guatemalan, Chilean, Haitian, Filipino
Peoples— who paid for the raid?

II. Proper gander?
Would raided Africans and Allies really carry water
for The Great Yachtsman flying Jolly Roger—with
Hungarian henchman—1st Mate of misogyny,
white supremacy, homophobia?
Would raided Africans and Allies not find the
strong
man the wrong man—with Victor
Moribund mentee?

Who gave the official word for Theater of The
Absurd— who paid for the raid—
weaponized words complimenting covert war?
Was it Mr. Magoo? His oh-so ‘clueless’ crew?
Acting incapacitated by strains of J6 Flu?

Other than Osage, Sioux, Tocobagan,
Missouri, Illini Peoples, who paid for the raid?
Ashanti, Fulani, Ibo, Yoruba, Wolof Peoples?
Afghan, Iraqi, Iranian, Vietnamese, Japanese?
Guatemalan, Chilean, Haitian, Filipino Peoples—
who paid for the raid?

III. $campaigns & $elections?
$campaigns & $elections undergirding Mississippi
monsters masquerading as public servants; Enforcing
counting of jars of jelly beans and bubbles in bars of
soap…for the right to vote…
$campaigns & $elections influenced by fossil fools— Texas
Taliban—Acting out Silly Sinema pulling Munchkin’s oily
strings; pulling our planet off life support…
$campaigns & $elections influenced by genocidal maniacs of
an apartheid state/pliable, reliable bought and bossed
politicians $campaigns & $elections mask lead ballots voting
Medgar, Malcolm, Martin from ‘office’— Voting Iceberg Slim
Negroz like The Drone Ranger in…

Who gave the official word for Theater of The
Absurd— who paid for the raid—
weaponized words complimenting covert war?
Was it Mr. Magoo? His oh-so ‘clueless’ crew?
Acting incapacitated by strains of J6 Flu?
