The Great
White foundation father, Vice-
Roy of Haiti and Harlem, nurse-
Maid of NAFTA, demon of de-
Regulation
Slick Willy Rides Again!
by Raymond Nat Turner
Don't know if the Bible
Said it, or Confucius
Said it---or if I just made
This shit up: "Beware of
The one riding in bareback,
Facing backwards on an
Ol' mule for he is an impostor"
lo and behold, The Great
White foundation father, Vice-
Roy of Haiti and Harlem, nurse-
Maid of NAFTA, demon of de-
Regulation, did just that at
Offal offices and tobacco
Country stables of the DNC
Repeating like Coltrane licks in
"Out of This World," unrelenting
Hermaneutics of suspicion swirling
Through my mind like some steroid-
Driven dervish... I NEVER trusted
The M$%#-F@!*... the silvery- tongued,
False-fingering saxophonist from
Arkansas--- even as an ass-kissing
Arsenio showed the candidate
A Love Supreme...
I saw through a saran-wrapped
Charlatan who would imprison
Nixon numbers of Black men and
Women; dismantle welfare with
Workfare from Reagan's wet dreams;
Bomb Bosina, bless derivatives and
Deconstruction of Glass-Steagall
During his peacetime presidency...
But, Negroz, who've become
Fat and flabby from high fructose
Corn syrup years of aspiring
Black faces in high places---
Black faces whose aspirations
Go no further than leather chairs
In corporate boardrooms and
Cash to stash in Cayman Island
Accounts, and their freezers...
Scream and shout "Slick Willy was
Masterful and hit it out the park!"
Him was masterful, alright, him
Still a master after all, ain't him?
But we in the fields must keep our
Gazes fixed firmly on the Drinking
Gourd,the North Star found just
Over picket signs on picket lines...
