Raytheon’s Raven caws “War—Evermore!”
Not wind beneath Negroz wings…
Did we ever say he was our hero?
Something we wished we could be—
cheering genocidal sorties illegal—
Pentagon with the wind beneath F-16 wings?
Raytheon’s Raven caws, “War—Forevermore!”
just like before—for his Masters of War
Warlords of Wall Street speaking in tongues of
Trillions
Tapping into pigment of Negro imaginations—
bloodthirsty machinations. Negroz claim skin
in the game; claim wind beneath bomber wings
was born in Spring-spilled blood like Dr. King’s…
Raytheon’s Raven caws, “War—Forevermore!”
just like before—for his Masters of War
Warlords of Wall Street. Their Gross National
Product’s charred bodies, bloated bellies, head-
less torsos of other peoples’ children christened
“Collateral Damage;” “Civilian Casualties;” Other
Palestinian-tested/proven bomb targets abroad—
Other domestic class war prisoners; Sheltering in
Poverty…
Raytheon’s Raven caws, “War—Forevermore!”
just like before—for his Masters of War…
Warlords of Wall Street whose revolving door;
five-sided fund house—ATM—Land of $10 Pencils,
$500 Hammers; grifter generals; greasy-thumbed
accountants—Whose esprit de corps for fighting for
More secret no-bid contracts—For fighting phantom
smoke and mirror enemies of the month’s unparalleled!!
Raytheon’s Raven caws, “War—Forevermore!”
just like before—for his Masters of War
Warlords of Wall Street—who unleashed Maddog
Mattis and Boss Tweet; bellicose Bomb Gates, W
and the more effective Drone Ranger—
Declaring U.S. imperialism’s STILL the main danger…
