No-win game, leading bassackwards to “Thom-Ass Clarence...Temples of Afrocentric Professors” and “Pinocchio politicians.”
Skin-game
by BAR Poet-in-Residence Raymond Nat Turner
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
Wage-slaves betting, Stockholm Syndrome-style,
Against solidarity and losing their shirts to sheets,
Dunce caps, camouflage, blue uniforms, Brooks Brothers suits…
Prosecuting, redlining, foreclosing, pepper-spraying, killing
“Chinks” “camel jockeys,” “rag-heads,” “gooks,” “spooks,”
“Spicks,” “spades,” “niggers,” “sand niggers,” “fags,” and
“Cunts” on command!
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
Trip-master monkey business
Of Bacon’s Rebellion—
When the “white race” was
Invented, circa 1676—
To Occupy Oakland 2011
General strike-port shutdown
Talks stalling: cultural nationalists
“People of color” tossin’ “decolonize”
Dust in “white” activists’ eyes…
The skin-game’s a
Thin game, melanin
Game, Mickey Finn
Game, kingpin game,
No-win game—
Benjamin game, 100%
For the one percent…
GPS leading bassackwards into the
Arms of Strong-arm Williams, Thom-
Ass Clarence, to Temples of Afrocentric
Professors, Pinocchio politicians, Ringling
Brothers of Rhetoric, torturing reason, trading
Resistance for rubbing elbows with warlords &
Pledging allegiance to serial wars for slavery…
