Slimy green cesspool reflecting capitalist rule
Raymond Nat Turner, BAR poet-in-residence

Pete Hegseth
Department of Defense Secretary, Pete Hegseth, announces that the military will conduct mandatory testosterone screenings.

Capitalism says corporations are people …  It says,
Money’s speech …    Buying, bossing, sock-puppet
politicians on Capitalist Hill; White Supreme Court; and
Offal Office’s corrupt cabinet of Epstein class War House.

Capitalism pulled One Big Beautiful Bank Job, stage whispering, 
DOGE really means Department Of Grifter Enrichment! Then,
boasted about looting fruits of our labor; while its Cruel Reich Cult 
casually kills on our streets and strolls unaccountable into the sunset.

Capitalism’s painting our streets crimson, killing class bothers and sisters 
San Diego to Maine. Turning cobwebbed warehouses into torture, murder,
Mengele Medicine hells. Bombing humble boats full of fish on the high seas.
Reducing apartment buildings, hospitals, schools teeming with dreams to rubble …

Capitalism crowned a chainsaw prancing prince of apartheid
First Techno-Fascist Trillionaire. And celebrated his warped
worldview of spastic stiff salutes and spit-shined jackboots —
Mirroring the stinky, slimy green, cesspool — reflecting capitalist rule.

The stinky, slimy green, cesspool — reflecting capitalist rule
Mirroring testosterone-intoxicated, pomade man, obeying orders 
of Captain Morgan, Jack Daniels and Jim Beam. Foolish Fox-box 
foot soldier lusting blood: Blowing up schoolchildren and teachers!

The stinky, slimy green, cesspool — reflecting capitalist rule
Algae attack, metaphor for war. Peeling paint, Pentagon pimps
shredding social safety net with looped, weapons-testing, wars
Horrific, eternal, trade shows of terror …
