When the “verdict” drops
by poet-in-residence Raymond Nat Turner
Temporary route
Justice denied, dream deferred
Media white-out—
…Wilson’s shots loudest heard?
When the “verdict” drops
Like harsh, bitter crops
Through FOX-box psy-ops
Force the state adopts
Co-signing killer cops—
Principles it swaps
Corporate Cyclops
Wealth that co-opts
No resistance STOPS—
Battles jus’ workshops!
