Fox-box Foot Soldiers

“… firing fully automatic fat cat, fair and

Balanced, blue dog, chicken-hawk opinions; long

On wind, short on facts— melodramatic, Psy Op,

Shock and awe actors— accessories to mass murder…”

Fox-box Foot Soldiers

by Raymond Nat Turner

Fox-box foot soldiers with bayonet-teeth and

Plutonium talking points, multi-tasking as

Stenographers, drumming DU keyboards for

War, twisting assassins into analysts, terrorists

Into viruses infecting immune-weakened body

Politic; bashing betrayers of the “fatherland!”

 

Their warheads bristling like peacock plumes,

Forked-tongues wagging like metronomes, Fox-

Box foot soldiers, head-fixers, making mushrooms,

Toadstools of Amerikkkan minds—keeping them

In the dark beneath blanket alerts, feeding them

Shit of general threats—bogeymen, “bad guys”

 

Their smokestacks spewing mushroom clouds

Of misinformation, disinformation, half-truths,

Super-sized big lies Streicher and Goebbels

Blush over; electronic lying factories molding

“Sleeper cells” from five-sided sound bites

Of billionaire buffoons, drooling Atwater

Fracked from a failing Rove-state…

Fox-box foot soldiers, 4th Reich weapons of mass

Deception… firing fully automatic fat cat, fair and

Balanced, blue dog, chicken-hawk opinions; long

On wind, short on facts— melodramatic, Psy Op,

Shock and awe actors— accessories to mass murder…

 

Wehrmacht Entertainment Division chasing Franklin,

Cleveland and Chase through echo chambers of fear

Resembling bank-owned homes, wrapped in plastic,

Sealed in duct tape, to ward off evildoers, but not

Debt peonage of sub-prime parasites, sucking flesh,

Blood and wealth from workers hearts, minds & wallets

 

Fox-box foot soldiers, warlocks with forked-tongues

Wagging like metronomes, conjuring family farmers,

Fisher folk and shepherds terrorists, transforming sovereignty

Into “bad guys” killing cartoons, selling fear like sugary

Red, yellow and orange alert cereals, branded:

COMMUNISM

CASTRO

KHOMENI

KHADAFY

NORIEGA

ORTEGA

CHAVEZ…

 

Fascist filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl, honest,

Appeared in Poland with pistol, outfitted in

Nazi uniform—if only Fox-box foot soldiers

Sharpton, Harris-Perry, Hannity, officers

O’Reilly, et al, appeared on air—in uniform…
