Big Lie Goliath⌠Prelude:
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
OâReilly
Clinton
Cosbyâ
nothing in commonâ
Save wealth, power, fame;
and four-letter wordsânot âof
Rights,â dogging their nameâŚ
I.
OâWarhead, head-fixer,
flamethrower, fluent
in Forked-Tongue;
OâMaster of misinformation,
disinformation, half-truths,
Big liesâ
OâGoebbels godson:
Drum Major for war
How many missiles
did you bless with venom?
How many bombs did
you slather in bile?
How many babies
did your spleen father
as âCollateral Damage?â
How many pages
does your crimson-
stained resumĂŠ run?
II.
OâFOX-box bully, high-
salaried henchmanâ
Women you terrorized
Spat at your sneering visage
Vanishing
from 52â screensâ
Persons without pulses
screamed, stadium-loud:
âShut-up!â
