War criminal Bassackwards Tribe

Not now,  nor have I ever been a

Member of remote-controlled,

Battery-operated, black bourgeois

Judas Quisling skin folk stratum …

Not now,  nor have I ever been a

Member of the black bourgeoisie’s

Strong-arm Williams- Thom-ass

Clarence-led Bassackwards Tribe …

Got 0 love for Bassackwards Tribe militantly

Toasting—drunkenly saluting— Atomic Aunt

Jemima blowing up every anguished UN plea

for Ceasefire!

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe shrieking

Wildly for Raytheon’s Raven, flapping

White phosphorus wings over

Our planet, cawing, “War forever more!”

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe celebrating

Bought and bossed Capitalist Hill

House Negroz—schlepping skunk

Water for apartheid state gangsters

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe praising the

Press secretary checking boxes—

Bombing homes, hospitals and schools—

Glamorizing genocide for an embalmed boss

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe at war with us

Lunch bucket, gloved, steel toe booted-brothas/sistars.

At war with us of box-stacking, truck-loading; floor-

mopping-toilet-scrubbing tribe

0 love for Bassackwards Tribe at war with us un-

varnished, us rough-hewn

Resisters!  At war with us unruly midwives of the

World where we can breathe …
