Benedict Arnold...

 © 6 September 2020, the Griot Poet

Judas Iscariot has taken residence,

At 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue,

The price of the nation’s crucifixion,

Is still 30 pieces of silver,

With no appreciation, or return of investment,

 

The Constitution has been held together for 232 years,

By spit, glue, good intentions, and duct tape,

 

The Russian state,

Has probed us since detonation,

Of “Little Boy” and “Fat Man” over Hiroshima and Nagasaki,

 

Despite the conspicuous silence,

Of science publications at the time on the subject of nuclear fission,

 

Russian physicist Georgy Flyorov suspected,

Allied powers secretly had been developing a “superweapon,”

 

Stalin ordered an aggressive pursuit of their own Kali goddess object,

With purloined intelligence about,

The German Heidelberg Device and the American Manhattan Project,

As well as rounded up Nazi scientists,

 

August 29, 1949

In Semipalatinsk, Kazakhstan

Their analogy to “Fat Man.”

Was aptly named “First Lightning,”

The flash beginning of the Cold War,

 

OSS became CIA two years before,

In the 1947 National Security Act,

That also formed the US Air Force,

Just in time to destabilize democratically-elected Mohammad Mosaddegh

For British Petroleum, fascist excesses

In 1953 Iran,

The first domino destabilizing the Near East,

 

Former reluctant allies against the Nazis,

Now in a “great game on a grand chessboard,”

Where Checkmate leaves no victors,

 

Point, counterpoint; surveillance,

White supremacy teaching themselves Russian, or English,

Infiltrating each other’s populations,

Which they purposely keep quaking under desks

In unrealistic nuclear survival drill tests,

Fomenting tribalism and division,

While the 1%, Politburo, Russian oligarchs,

Goes laughing to their respective banks,

 

They offshore their monies to each OTHERS shores,

Americans to Eurasia, Russians to

Failure real estate malignant narcissist agents,

Playing pretend billionaires in New York on The Apprentice,

 

COINTELPRO,

Was an illegal FBI surveillance,

Of civil rights organizations,

The government feared Soviet infiltration,

A ruse likely orchestrated,

By Russian KGB agents,

Manipulating,

Our racism, tribalism, and inner schisms,

 

Like Hitler: their puppet was seen as a joke,

Five draft deferments and six bankruptcies of note,

The Apprentice showrunners had to rent,

New furniture to communicate the illusion of success,

 

The Master KGB agent has successfully,

Bent “useful idiots” to his devious will,

The United States and NATO,

In his political domino calculus have to fall,

 

In their wake,

Will be countries led by “Strongmen” sociopaths,

Reporting in

To Vladimir Illyich Putin,

Owing like Russian oligarchs: their riches to HIM,

 

Orange Satan aspires to be,

The group he loathes real billionaires he secretly admirers,

 

The master spy has cultivated him,

Since 1987 when,

The weight of his losses could not be gaslighted, even by him,

 

This is his last opportunity,

To ascend to the ranks of the actual wealthy,

 

What price is a man’s soul?

 

What does it matter if there, instead of love, and empathy is an empty, black hole?
