Patriot ActâŚ
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Surreal screams, and
Confusion reigns supreme!
Blood, mostly O+,
puddles ankle-deep,
Everywhereâ
As if crimson rained
from rag dolls strewn
about the street
a 40mph wakeup call
from fat, flabby high
fructose corn syrup
Hope and change sleep;
Yes, we can
Kill children whose parents were stupid
enough to name them Collateral Damage
and Civilian Casualty
Infatuated with the Fuhrer,
the neo-Nazi
sliced his silver-grey Challenger
Through marchers like Robert E. Lee
slicing the south on Traveler â
then backed that thing up
Getân the hell outta there
Heâs a hero; itâll
take an all white
Jury all 30min.
To see alternative
Facts in this matter:
Negroz and handlers,
Seeking to âget paid,â
Played the race card,
blame gameâand lostâ
Hurling themselves on the
Hood of his muscle car!
Adding insult to injury,
now theyâre spoutinâ the T-wordâ
Boyâs traumatized enough without
Nappy-headed fools talkinâ
Terror!
Damn fools know no
Terrorists come
From the Buckeye State,
Keystone State, Lone Star State,
or Land of Lincolnâ
Rag heads, diaper heads,
sand niggers, camel jockeys
come from a Stan:
Afghanistan, Pakistan,
Jusâ Name a StanâŚ
