Where do they all come from??? 

Brain dead Negroz who’ve run

into walls of 300 lb. men for too

long; Remote-controlled rappers—

Ritalin-riddled—in colorful

straitjackets/lotsa logos…

low Barr last daze of Pompeo—

Look at all the ugly people—

Where do they all come from?

Circus Negroz wallowing in

elephant excrement—and/or

donkey dung—depending on IQs…

Big shoe, red nose shows for thirty

pieces of silver; for ringmasters of

Deceit…Where do they all come from?

Dirty tricksters, 3rd Reich pranksters—

Global gangsters weaponizing melanin…

Where do they all come from? All the

Ugly people—where do they all come from?

Lift their faces—drop them on Capitalist Hill—

or in the War House.

Dress them in black robes, sit them silently on

the White Supreme Court. Tailor their suits and

talking points…

And these mealymouthed, milquetoast men and

women—wooden nickel-hollow hustlers—

Peach State impostors, Magnolia State moveable

pieces, Lone Star State lackeys—All about movin’

on up—Will never, ever utter a peep about lifting

tarps, tents, cardboard mattresses, concrete beds

Hanging over our heads: Up and down the Mason

Dixon line…
