Succumb...some will
...Sordid minds
The self-despised
…That ax to grind
Self-hatred transfixed
..Its soul..entwined
A malicious…need…
Fellow Blacks malign
Vengeance waged
…Desiring…to find..
Bigotry's acceptance
Beyond the color line
Pathetically..watch
Fellow Blacks Maligned..
Amidst hypocrisy..waving
…Watermelon signs
*
*
'Blacks..loving the G.O.P'
…Would appear..asinine
Were it not for the sake…
Of the self-despised mind
Author's Note:
'Remembering fried chicken, barbeque, and watermelon rinds. Caricatures aplenty, amidst Tea Party signs - and indeed, not the least bit bothered; confirms the 'Self-despised' mind' (JBE)
