Ideals Once Bred In Distant Slavery...Seen Recycling Now Again Poem by James B. Earley

...We saw it....back in Selma
Tormented hatred yet then
....That...just a semblance
Where the bitter acts of men

...Evermore...reminded
Of those vivid days of when
Atrocities....even greater
'Tis the road long we've been

Traveling since Slavery....
Perhaps recycling....now again
...President-Elect's imagery
Of history's evil lion's den

....Eight years...endurance
Reliving fate's Original Sin
...Obama's terms in office
A 'living hell'...amongst...men

Who plotted indeed schemed
...Its...sinister...message send
Obstructionism thus defined
.....Yesterday's way of life defend

Now a President-Elect's philosophy
...Cabinet...replete...with similar kin
Ideals once bred in distant Slavery
...Seen...recycling...now.....again
