Poetry from Black Agenda Report, the highly recommended regular read to understand how Black progressive journalists see the future of Can't We Just Get Along politics. This poem by Raymond Nat Turner is a nice little way to start the day. Sample:
Two tramps, frontmen for fossil fools and warlords of Wall Street—
Pentagon pimps—stand center stage projecting corporate power.
The two Lilliputian politicians gesticulate wildly as they move stage Rightfor months. Ambient sounds include shareholders oinking gleefully.
