James B. Earley Poems

Seems a Holy Band assembled
…..Hypocrites…..Americana
Church Folks on Sunday morning
….Back home……in Indiana
...

The artist..the legend
The sphere in flight
Sounds of the faithful
Screaming delight
...

President failed to march in solidarity
Administration didn’t send one single face
....Boehner/McConnell….moral outrage
That Paris absence….America’s disgrace
...

Rosie Leola Earley 1903 - 2001

Delivered at South Bend, Indiana February 24,2001
...

....Caucasian mom
The father Black
...Son dalmatian..
Genetic fact
...

Gone the warmth
The smile
Once showing
...

Nation’s problems….critical
….’Tis sad disgrace
Trump’s bankruptcies
….Fiorina’s…face
...

National Guard Armories across the land….
Time…to arm...every child….woman and man

….Free…of all cost…..the documented solution
...

Author's Note:
'Only crime and the criminal, it is true, confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.'
― Hannah Arendt
