‘Tis The Season Of Suicide

by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner

Let’s go get stoned

Let’s go get stoned

And while we’re out

Let’s pick up six packs of

Cluster bombs from General

Dynamics—‘bombies’ for our

Babies and grandbabies to play with…

Let’s go get shot

Let’s go get shot

Attempting beer with a

Notorious Negro sheriff—

Judas Stephen Clarke—and

Other bassackwards Negroz

Of the Thom-ass Clarence-

Strong-arm Williams Tribe…

Let’s go get screwed

Let’s go get screwed

By neo-liberal, lemon-dick

Dems, since it’s the season of

PSYOPs —suicide coming once

Every four years, making us

Hurt ourselves… seven generations…
