âTis The Season Of Suicide
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Letâs go get stoned
Letâs go get stoned
And while weâre out
Letâs pick up six packs of
Cluster bombs from General

By neo-liberal, lemon-dick

PSYOPs âsuicide coming once
Every four years, making us
Hurt ourselves⌠seven generationsâŚ
