āTis The Season Of Suicide
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Letās go get stoned
Letās go get stoned
And while weāre out
Letās pick up six packs of
Cluster bombs from General
Dynamicsāābombiesā for our
Babies and grandbabies to play withā¦
Letās go get shot
Letās go get shot
Attempting beer with a
Notorious Negro sheriffā
Judas Stephen Clarkeāand
Other bassackwards Negroz
Of the Thom-ass Clarence-
Strong-arm Williams Tribeā¦
Letās go get screwed
Letās go get screwed
By neo-liberal, lemon-dick
Dems, since itās the season of
PSYOPs āsuicide coming once
Every four years, making us
Hurt ourselvesā¦ seven generationsā¦
