Gathering...At Mt. Rushmore Poem by James B. Earley

...Traitors..as heroes
Slaying of Negroes..
"His" Confederacy...in historical..review
...Gathering..at Mt. Rushmore
Its purpose...deplore...
Right of protest..as constitutional...purview

..Furthering the plot
Incitement...to riot..
A President..so insidiously entwined
...Text..tenor...and tone
That message..thus sown...
Racial….animosity...by design

..Sad portrait...does paint
No moral restraints...
Disunity..disruption...the aim
...Ignoramus..at the helm
Intellectually..overwhelmed..
The Presidency..but a confidence...game

..Gathering..at Mt. Rushmore
Its sole purpose...deplore...
"Right of Protest"..as Constitutional...purview
..Honoring traitors...as heroes
Encouraging..slaying of Negroes...
"His" Confederacy..in historical...review
