"STOP Cruel Reich Cult (CRC) from reinventing the wheel" is the latest from BAR's Poet-in-Residence.

Cruel Reich Cult coveting Utopia of no unrest. No protest. Voiceless
press. Far-right, fact-lite lectures. And automatic $elections. That exists.
Why reinvent the wheel? And why not keep it real? 
Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

Cruel Reich Cult lusting wild-eyed, white christian-nationalist, warfare
state. That exists — deploying primitives wielding sticks with triggers.
Why reinvent the wheel? And why not keep it real?
Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

Cruel Reich Cult longing for chalk white Nirvana. That exists. Red
from war. Hoggish-blue from wild Boers slurping fruits of working-
class labor.Why reinvent the wheel? And why not keep it real? 
Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

Cruel Reich Cult desperately seeking sadist Shangri-La of assassins,
torturers, ethnic-cleansers. That exists. Doing loads of dirty work daily.
Why reinvent the wheel? And why not keep it real?
Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

Cruel Reich Cult pining for Promised Land of blood-stained hand.
That exists. Strangling sacred and ancient dreams of everyday people.

Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

Cruel Reich Cult prizing Paradise of masked men.That exists.
Uprooting, splintering family trees on the altar of private prison profits.
Why reinvent the wheel? And why not keep it real?
Currently, you’re free to flee. To follow your dim North Star abroad.

But picture this: We, The People, marshaling boxcars, shipping containers,
tugboats, 18-wheelers! U-Hauls. Marshaling Uber, Lyft, even electric bikes
to spirit you to your super yachts. Your luxury jets. Out to sea. Or airborne to
Utopias, Nirvanas you’re attempting to recreate … by killing us …
