A Poet's Proposal for DT's Inauguration
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Bet you wonderinā how I knew
Few are willinā to perform for you?
I heard it through the grapevine
Also on TV, radio and onlineā¦
I aināt A-listā
F-list, maybe?
Not a seven-figga n**** or War House Hoet in the
Retinue the Drone Ranger plays like plastic kazoosā
Yet, Iām willing to serve, sir:
Call it Patriot Act III!
Willing to audition, practice, rehearseāgratisā
get on the back of a Greyhound bus, brown bag,
greasy fried chicken, like the good olā daysā¦
Apply a plastic smile, applaud on cue, shuffle, shake hands with
Strong-arm Williams, Sheriff Stephen Judas Clarke, Thom-ass

To let you use me
Get me in a crowd of right-wing racists and act real rude to meā
āCause I wanna spread the news:
That if it trends this good gettinā used
Come on, use me ātil you use me upā
My fifteen-minutes of FLAME!!

The Democratsā HANDS OFF rallies included āHANDS OFF NATOā and excluded āHANDS OFF PALESTINE,ā but not all rally goers got the memo.
