He word-o-boarded his way West with walls of Words—
Did his dissertation on: “The Unpacking of Thirty Pieces of
Silver In Rejuvenation of Judas In The Age of Empire: Multi-
modal Mule Dung Deploying Sesquipedalian Stink Bombs In
Ideological Warfare”
He invented of the Wink-Wink, Nod-Nod Code for covering
The Commander’s flank in theater—stupid Wall Street ‘white’
boys couldn’t detect the Commander’s coded wink-wink, Nod-
Nod communication with Black folk!
He apologizes for ‘signature’ strikes on Afghan grandmothers,
incinerated while gardening okra with grandchildren; He
Apologizes for ‘signature’ strikes on wedding parties blown
to bits on joyous occasions; He apologizes for Egyptian youth
losing eyes, lives and relative freedom in Bomb Gates-guided
counterinsurgency
He apologizes for 15-22 thousand Palestinians slaughtered in white
phosphorus-shrouded weapons-testing. He apologizes for Somali
Fishermen whacked during the Commander’s first days, and for
Ghost detainees haunting Gitmo 8 yrs after the Commander closed it…
He apologizes for Occupy pepper-spray, baton blows and plastic
cuffs cutting of circulation; He apologizes for Ferguson, Chicago,
Baltimore Black youth caught in cumulus clouds of teargas, reign of
rubber-coated bullets, between Panzer Divisions deployed against them
Class struggle is flaring up like Nigerian oil wells; empire’s bases
Infest the world like buzzing beehives pollinating wars foreign and
Domestic. And there is no shame in the Slutty Professor’s game—
getting his black site groove on: Limbo with the Golda-plated Iron
Lady, waiting on wings of a Predator drone…
