Say HER Name

She vacations with the war criminal Henry Kâ
Though bribes go better with Coke, and B of A
Renown past master of the game of pay to play
Super predator for slavers, like Geo, and CCAâ
Black Lives Matter in cages, mostly Dixiecratic
Suggesting struggle to be waged is: systematicâŠ
Chevron, Exxon, Monsanto, Boeing sweetheart
Showed labor love from the board of Wal-Mart

5 thousand a minute money-laundering speeches
Pep talks to the most parasitic pack of all leeches
Fiser, City Group, Morgan and Lehman Brothers
Time-Warner, Dewey Sq. Group, countless othersâŠ

Crafty exploitation of death, destruction and misery
Seems the mission of her infamous, shifty foundation

Donations, ending up right back in the donorsâ pockets
Maybe her real workâs selling bombs, missiles, rockets?
Libya and Honduras? Shhh, donât tell; Shhh, donât askâ
Syria and Iran? Quickâgrab her Hannibal Lecter mask!
