If An American Citizen Beyond Suspicion Were An Isis Recruiter

________________________________________________________________________________________________

If recruitment were beyond suspicion
but criminal behavior were not,
the American citizen would 
get himself arrested

Something felonious would guarantee
hard time with the hardcore

Amongst whom there would be
Bloods  and Crips

The leaders of these gangs have IQs
off the charts that has only been 
measured by  a rap sheet*

The chosen Blood or Crip
would be within hollering distance
of parole

Let us call our future parolee
Mr. Blip

Our American citizen would become
the chum of that prisoner

About whom, the handlers
of the American citizen would know
EVERYTHING

And so would Mr. America

Mr Blip is delighted to learn
that Isis is nothing more than
Bloods or Crips
in a sand box
with very little
supervision

"All you need
is a hot trigger finger
and cash flow will follow you
to your grave,"
says the recruiter

"Where does the cash flow begin?"
asks Mr. Blip

"Just beyond the walls of this prison"
answers the American citizen
"But everything is riding
on the Superhush"

"That's what we call the Omerta Express,"
proudly proclaims the Blip

"Do you know big time Blips
in other cities?"
asks the recruiter

"Of course I do,
otherwise they would not call me
the Big Blip"

"Do you know the film CasaBlanca?"

"The one with Humphrey Bogart?"

"Yes"

"Then all I can say is

"Let's drink to the Omerta Express"

"Otherwise known as
the zip of the lip"
