A Clinical...Revelation Poem by James B. Earley

Conflicting interests
Whose worlds collide
Flamboyant...openness
...Yet....a secret..side

Now we sat at the mercy
...Of nefarious....assault
Too late...recognizing....
It was our own damn fault

The lesser of the evils
We ignored that voice
Ballot box.....offering
...A viable....choice

We sat at the side lines
...Just watching....in awe
Denying......the future....
Though...the future we saw

Forked-tongued speaking
...In.......explicit terms
Lie...after lie....raising...
No responsible concerns

It wasn't ignorance driven
...'Twas...a bigoted base
Certainly not the economy...
But overt matters....of race
*
*
*
Thus...a challenge to every bigot
....Request...a simple...DNA
Its...comprehension...perhaps
...Might....pave...the way

To a clearer understanding
Of the fallacy...folks paint
....A clinical...revelation....
Of what is...and what ain't
