Estranged Careerists of the Corporate Black Cash-hounds (CBC)

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¦

āSo they go forward with the old plan, the only one they've got. Attack Iran.ā
Somaliland aspires to be an āindependentā US military enclave in the Horn of Africa.
Minnesotaās progressive myth shatters as its racial gaps in income, education, and housing eclipse even Deep South states, and right wing whites turn to violence against their own people.
The Middle Eastās only real weapons of mass destruction are Zionism, U.S. imperialism, and Israelās nuclear arsenalāa toxic trifecta fueling endless war.
