Something we wished we could be—

cheering genocidal sorties illegal—

Pentagon with the wind beneath F-16 wings?

 

Raytheon’s Raven caws, “War—Forevermore!”

Warlords of Wall Street speaking in tongues of 

Trillions

bloodthirsty machinations. Negroz claim skin

in the game; claim wind beneath bomber wings

was born in Spring-spilled blood like Dr. King’s…

Declaring U.S. imperialism’s STILL the main danger…
