Say HER Name
by BAR poet in residence Raymond Nat Turner

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

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

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!
