Common again…

Making perpetual war,

Disposable killing machines

 

Common again…

by Raymond Nat Turner

 

“Bomb, bomb, bomb— bomb, bomb Iran”

Rich “psycho,” singing

Like a “ticking time bomb—”

His syphilitic brain’s synapses

Rhythmically locked in

Perfect harmony with

Hidden handlers…

 

Poor “madman,” “maniac,”

Senile war criminal, his

War whoop voicing chords

Of latex-gloved puppeteers

Making perpetual war,

Disposable killing machines,

Monthly mass murders common

Again, like lynching & scalping…
