On the “road to slavery, for the third time,” straw-bossed by “a Quisling Black bourgeoisie.”
Tri-tanic

Veering, weaving wildly, running over
Glaring white and amber kadrunkas—
Thunk-thunk-thunk— skidding off the
Bone-paved, blood-slcik, winding road
Slavery to freedom, for the third time:

8 years of water-boarding with Cristal,

Democratic Party patrons, backseat of a Bentley…
* N $#@%% Ain’t S*%^
