Our poet tires of the swatting zika-infested mosquitoes that bring us emergency managers and privatization, of seeing the crocodile tears of our black big city mayors and the rest of the black misleadership class. this week he advocates a more comprehensive approach.
*Drain the Swamp
(SF Hunger Strikers, si; Racist Police Texters, no!)
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Now, bulls$*#!âs the essential language of group think
That the capitalist state uses over and over to hoodwink
Like Texter-in-Chief claiming his texters need trainingâ
We disagree, thinking that the swamp needs draining:
Drain the swampâ
Quit acting like their olâ venom is new
Drain the swampâ
Everybody knows thatâs what snakes do!
Drain the swampâ
We donât need a department of predator police
Drain the swampâ
A pensioned pack of thugs who kill and fleece
Drain the swampâ
Away with the sewer-mouthed racists who reek
Drain the swampâ
Into their natural habitat of Wall-nut CreekkkâŚ
Drain the swampâ
Disband blue klan runninâ âround without hoods
Drain the swampâ
To 1816 towns of âPeckerwoodsâ
Drain the swampâ
Of apartheid thinkers, surviving Boers
Drain the swampâ
Of anachronisms like dinosaurs
Drain the swampâ
And bring the super-predators to heel
Drain the swampâ
Revoking their licenses to kill and steal
Drain the swampâ
Crock-a-Dialing monsters must all be spayed
Drain the swampâ
By drying out the marsh where they are paid
Drain the swampâ
Leaving Hitlerite scum a fresh context
Drain the swampâ
No benefits, pensionsâwhere to go next?
Drain the swampâ
Sending blood-sucking leeches on their way
Drain the swampâ
Let âem live off their beloved kkk!
Drain the swampâ
Of racists paid by people they abhor
Drain the swampâ
Into Gitmo to text forevermoreâŚ

The 4th of July celebration is a relic of American exceptionalist ideology. There is very little independence in a capitalist dictatorship.
Days of extreme heat without access to enough water and cooled air become deadlier for an aging prison population.
Protests erupted in France after police killed a teenager of Algerian and Moroccan ancestry. Just as in the U.S. racism in France is the cause of police violence.
