                                                                                  (Kansas City killer/kidnapper/serial rapist

                                                                         following in the footsteps of the Founding Fathers?)

 

“HELP!” Woke screams leaping 100 yr. intervals

into emaciated flashbacks: matted hair… El Mina:

padlocked dog collared duct-taped neck…

Door of No Return: wrists decorated with abrasions;

face, shoulders, torso tattooed with bruises.

Short black, white semen-stained, latex ‘skirt:’ paraded

before police/press like traders/enslavers at Cape Coast

Castle, Gorée Island or Missouri auction blocks…

Mothers, daughters, granddaughters,

Aunts, nieces, sisters ripped from

Families—snatched off eagle-eyed avenues—

kidnapped from Show Me State streets.

Shipped on waves of terror—back to bullwhip rhythms,

clanging melodies; to underground dungeons, darkness

and smells of death…

Minutes before mining Prospect Avenue—

‘Whiteness’ was all the suspect owned—

Presto—he’s propertied! And chains await

the woman with a metal mask to muffle her

screams, her cries, her pleas…

Presto—he’s propertied! A Black body to

Work for wealth like the Founding Fathers did—

A Black body to work to death; Should he decide…

Weaponized with blu pills, he invades

every orifice—civilizing her—Jeffersonian-style.

Any fruit falling from her wombs is his

Property. She cannot/must not abort! It’s the

Law! The white supreme court said so…

Didn’t he ‘serve’ in Afghanistan? ‘Serve’ in Iraq

and Somalia, kicking down doors 4 in the morning?

Murdering men—having his way with widows—

Terrorized and trembling with fear and grief?

Wasn’t he in D.C. January 6th storming Capitalist

Hill, flaunting some strain of false consciousness?

Suspect pleads innocent—Her rape kit testifies

Otherwise…

Is he aided/abetted by those knowing where the

Bodies are buried? Gaslighting detectives/talking

head Fox-box foot soldiers reducing deaths to (sic)

“completely unfounded rumors…”

How many cops are in on the plot? How many moon

lighting Hitler-lovers with healthcare, sick leave, paid

vacations and pensions have ‘white' skin in the game?

Speaking of games, doesn’t he tailgate and celebrate

Kansas City’s Chiefs with 'tomahawk chop’ and

faux Indigenous chant—one keg away from lynch

mob?

Speaking of lynch mobs, what if whistleblowers had

Reverse reported—

said a Black man was snatching/killing white women?

Before ghetto birds could circle skies; Before Humvees

blocked streets; Before battering rams, snipers, SWAT

, FBI; Before capitalist state machine/media could get on

‘the same page’ the ‘hood would be an orchard of

Strange Fruit. And its rubble would resemble WWII…
