āTis The Season Of Suicide
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner
Letās go get stoned

And while weāre out
Letās pick up six packs of
Cluster bombs from General

By neo-liberal, lemon-dick
Dems, since itās the season of
PSYOPs āsuicide coming once
Every four years, making us
Hurt ourselvesā¦ seven generationsā¦
