Shock and awe actors— accessories to mass murder…”
Fox-box Foot Soldiers
by Raymond Nat Turner
Fox-box foot soldiers with bayonet-teeth and
Plutonium talking points, multi-tasking as
Stenographers, drumming DU keyboards for
War, twisting assassins into analysts, terrorists
Into viruses infecting immune-weakened body
Politic; bashing betrayers of the “fatherland!”
Their warheads bristling like peacock plumes,
Forked-tongues wagging like metronomes, Fox-
Box foot soldiers, head-fixers, making mushrooms,
Toadstools of Amerikkkan minds—keeping them
In the dark beneath blanket alerts, feeding them
Shit of general threats—bogeymen, “bad guys”
Their smokestacks spewing mushroom clouds
Of misinformation, disinformation, half-truths,
Super-sized big lies Streicher and Goebbels
Blush over; electronic lying factories molding
“Sleeper cells” from five-sided sound bites
Of billionaire buffoons, drooling Atwater
Fracked from a failing Rove-state…
Fox-box foot soldiers, 4th Reich weapons of mass
Deception… firing fully automatic fat cat, fair and
Balanced, blue dog, chicken-hawk opinions; long
On wind, short on facts— melodramatic, Psy Op,
Shock and awe actors— accessories to mass murder…
Wehrmacht Entertainment Division chasing Franklin,
Cleveland and Chase through echo chambers of fear
Resembling bank-owned homes, wrapped in plastic,
Sealed in duct tape, to ward off evildoers, but not
Debt peonage of sub-prime parasites, sucking flesh,
Blood and wealth from workers hearts, minds & wallets
Fox-box foot soldiers, warlocks with forked-tongues
Wagging like metronomes, conjuring family farmers,
Fisher folk and shepherds terrorists, transforming sovereignty
Into “bad guys” killing cartoons, selling fear like sugary
Red, yellow and orange alert cereals, branded:
COMMUNISM
CASTRO
KHOMENI
KHADAFY
NORIEGA
ORTEGA
CHAVEZ…
Fascist filmmaker, Leni Riefenstahl, honest,
Appeared in Poland with pistol, outfitted in
Nazi uniform—if only Fox-box foot soldiers
Sharpton, Harris-Perry, Hannity, officers
O’Reilly, et al, appeared on air—in uniform…

The climate movement will never be effective as long as it refuses to confront white supremacy within its own organizations and as a belief system which is unconcerned about Black and brown death.
