Something we wished we could be—

cheering genocidal sorties illegal—

Pentagon with the wind beneath F-16 wings?

 

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

just like before—for his Masters of War

Warlords of Wall Street speaking in tongues of 

Trillions

Tapping into pigment of Negro imaginations—

bloodthirsty machinations. Negroz claim skin

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