Preemptive
Military action, guaranteed satisfaction;
Unilateral military force, stock market
Must stay the course…
Neo-Con Nightmares in Triplicate
by Raymond Nat Turner
Neo-con Nightmare #1
I.
Broken, blackened rag dolls,
Plumes of crimson streaming
From their small sculls—
Instant Emmett Tills, Antiqs,
Trayvons, by the thousands…
Another open-eyed night,
Scarlet-drenched, razor-thin sleep,
My last count of the sheep—
I had a nightmare, threadbare
‘Bout warfare where the black
Bourgeoisie was hawking
“Humanitarian interventions” of
Alarming dimensions, where
Even their Democratic Party
Green Czar had hopped in his
Sidecar to hawk the arms bazaar!
I had a nightmare, that for its
Share the black bourgeoisie
Helped war profiteers prepare,
Hitch up their plowshare to
Welfare, a la multibillionaire…
I had a nightmare, that sans fanfare
Watching them declare, this sordid
Affair is about keeping their eyes
On the enterprise—even Amos &
Andy operations know: war crime
Pays…
I had a nightmare—black devils there
Baggin’ their bloody share, selling
Wolfowitz Tickets for the New
Amerikkkan Century, land of the
Penitentiary and steroidal spending for
War, now and forever more; preemptive
Military action, guaranteed satisfaction;
Unilateral military force, stock market
Must stay the course…
I had a nightmare— Black people
Beware, of death merchants shouting:
“Trade Show Over Syria
Shot Across the Bow,
On to Iran
Red Line, Blow Out
Everything Must Go
Clearance Sale!”
“Trade Show Over Syria,
All Options On The Table Sale
Top Name Brands Like
Haliburton, Boeing, Monsanto,
Lockheed-Martin, Northrup-
Grummond, General Dynamics,
General Electric—huge selections—
Boatloads arriving daily, everything
From Aircraft carriers to Zoom-lenses,
To Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, F-15,
F-16 Strike aircraft!
Huge selections of drones and we’re
Bulging with bunker buster bombs—
Returns, all sales are FINAL!
Colorful chemical agents abound:
Fallujah White Phosphorus, Vietnam
Agent Orange, already at austerity
Prices, we will not be undersold!”
I had a nightmare, American People
Beware, of senate salesmen and women
Standing by, taking orders, accessing
R2P codes, offering 50% off sticker
Prices, giving G-20 discounts, working
Out layaways and terms for new Africom
Partners, tossin’ in free Pretext Packs:
“Stop Ethnic Cleansing,” Remove A
Tyrant,” “WMD,” “Chemical Weapons”
For those acting now;
Nightmare of congressmen throwing in
Talking Points and coupons for free FOX-
Box foot soldier and Pentagon Press Corp
Consultations and cutting-edge ideas from
The sidecar of the Green Czar for Fair Trade
White phosphorus, organic Agent Orange and
Depleted Uranium and recycled rubber boots
On the ground—creating thousands of
Good Green Jobs fo’ po’ Black folks!
Neo-con nightmare #2
II.
Redacted 1st and 4th amendments,
Cameras metastasizing like Monsanto
Seed sprouting up everywhere, from
Poles and buildings, the walls grow
Elephant ears and memories, in this
Land of make believe, colony of
Comatose platitudes touting democracy—
Spending a trillion a year on wars and
900 bases protecting pipelines, shipping
Lanes, cheap labor and markets we’ve
Been smart-bombed, surgically-struck—
Softened-up enough not to question…
I had a nightmare, of class warfare &
Living unaware of resistance bubbling
Beneath Goliath’s sandals…
Neo-con nightmare #3
III.
“Curveball’s” baaack dishing the
Dirt—a covert alert—China and
Russia, reacting retroactively to
Red Lines crossed, are launching
Limited strikes on NYC and U.C.
Davis to degrade Bull Kelly, Mayor
Bilbo, Governor Moonbeam and
The Commander-in-Chief and
Their criminal capacity for chemical
Attacks on the 99%
China saw “Chemical Tony”
In white shirt, rouge state
Of mind, use chemicals
On peaceful protestors;
Russia saw Sergeant
Pepperspray attack passive protestors
Seated on the ground— their contorted
Faces, their bodies convulsing and writhing
In agony!
When I awoke, red-faced Russia and China
Were silent, busy working over our class
Brothers and sisters who, too, dare to struggle,
Dare to win …

Regime change is possible but not inevitable. Forces claiming to be leftist and claiming to be revolutionary must actually live up to the true meaning of those words.
