Estranged Careerists of the Corporate Black Cash-hounds (CBC)
by BAR poet-in-residence Raymond Nat Turner
Once, they shouted, āSay it loud, Iām Black and Iām proud!ā
Now, their actions say it loud, āWeāre in the Cayman Crowdā¦ā
Our airās polluted, our waterās fracked,
Schools shuttered and homes jacked
As the Jesse Jr. and Unca Jim ilk
Spin pain into Rolex, and silkā¦
Hearts transplanted with tweezers
For cold cash stashed in freezersā
Obscene sums, mega amountsā¦
Stuffing Swiss Bank Accounts!
Their lame posturing, tame gyrations
Strings pulled by the corporations
Struggle was āoff the tableā long agoā
Capitalist Hill is their IndieGoGoā¦
They huff and puff ābout fluffy stuff,
When warmongeringās not enoughā¦
