Over-populating capitalist hill—
Pushing up shares on the NASDAQ?...
Peace Dividend
by Raymond Nat Turner
11/9: When the "Evil Empire"
Ended, warlords swore
There would be a
"Peace Dividend," but
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Cold war with old war?
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Enemy of the month,
Threat of the week,
Operation of the day,
War around the world,
War around the clock—
War for evermore?
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Surges of war profiteers
Soliciting no-bid contracts,
Like packs of pedophile
Priests, volunteering for
Blacked-out Boys Clubs?
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Hearings to hear lies
Looped like capitalist
Politicians' promises, with
Pharmaceutical side effects—
Hearings asking questions
Answered already by bloody,
Broken, bodies of babies, their
Farmer fathers, mothers, their
Grandmothers, grandfathers and
Neighbors, all commodified as
Collateral damage?
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Eternal terms of Strom Thurmond and
Scoop Jackson—the Senator from Boeing—
Disguised as Di-Fi down to her New York
Stock Exchange ticker, wig concealing
Her warhead, fresh fragrance of death,
Plutonium breath, from a mouth moving
Like other GE, General Dynamics, Northrup-
Grummond-Lockheed-Martin marionettes
Over-populating capitalist hill—
Pushing up shares on the NASDAQ?...
11/9: When the "Evil Empire"
Ended, warlords swore
There would be a
"Peace Dividend," but
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end...
Did it end... Did it end?...
