BAIT [WORDS]

America…
Gotta cut bait.

Streets of broken glass reflect
Flames licking the night sky

Powerful planetary interests,
In conjunction with various metagroups
Periodically generate a
Counter-subversion Panic
Tactically using right-wing populist rhetoric
To enlist a mass base to defend their
Unfair power, privilege and massive wealth.
Consequently,
A large, middle-class,
white constituency
Is baited into siding with
Organized wealth as a way to defend
Their relative privilege in society

Peasants for Plutocracy

The blame for economic, political
And social tensions is
Transferred away from
Free Market capitalism
To “leftists”, “communists”,
Organized labor bosses
And other scapegoated
“Subversives and Traitors”.
As an afterthought,
Defense of unequal
Racial, religious and gender hierarchies
Is often mobilized as part of the
Counter-subversion Effort.

Rubber bullets at close range,
Some poor fuck takes one in the chops.
The cops movin in quick,
Nightsticks thumpin off cop shields,
Tappin out a tempo of hate and fear.

Bait—
Call it business as usual.
