it’s Chaz Simone’s autonomous zone
after the cops pulled out
a six block space for his home-base
’cause an AK still has clout

why retreat and give the streets
to the riff-raff of Capitol Hill?
the media won’t ask as the public laughs
and as good intentions kill

righteous rage yanked fast away
and directed toward ActBlue
O how they milk fresh white guilt
into hollow, sterile tubes

its Raz Simone and other bones
the’ll toss into your cage
chew on this and drink our piss
and pray for better days
