She's implacable, unmovable and inevitable. She's the Democratic candidate. Deal with it.

Say HER Name

by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner

Though bribes go better with Coke, and B of A

Renown past master of the game of pay to play

Super predator for slavers, like Geo, and CCA—

Black Lives Matter in cages, mostly Dixiecratic

Suggesting struggle to be waged is: systematic…

Chevron, Exxon, Monsanto, Boeing sweetheart

Showed labor love from the board of Wal-Mart

Fossil fuel fiend, undisputed Queen of Fracking

Bullish on Merrill-Lynching, Goldman-Sacking

5 thousand a minute money-laundering speeches

Pep talks to the most parasitic pack of all leeches

Fiser, City Group, Morgan and Lehman Brothers

Time-Warner, Dewey Sq. Group, countless others…

Oh, let’s not forget the hustle of false philanthropy

Crafty exploitation of death, destruction and misery

Seems the mission of her infamous, shifty foundation

Is stealing damn near anything and everything Haitian

Donations, ending up right back in the donors’ pockets

Maybe her real work’s selling bombs, missiles, rockets?

Libya and Honduras? Shhh, don’t tell; Shhh, don’t ask—

Syria and Iran? Quick—grab her Hannibal Lecter mask!
