...Having Sent....That N-Word....Kinda Message....To His Base Poem by James B. Earley

Racial division.....
....Indeed...our President's decision
The Black athlete....in the crosshairs.......debase
...First....Kaepernick then James
Bigotry fanning....the flames....
Sending that n-word kinda message to his base

....Tomorrow's America....is but a mystery
But that mystery...an affinity...to German history...
A reality....bitterly reminiscent...of yesterday's place
....Looking around one might surmise
If Hitler...today....were still alive....
The n-word would be a badge of honor to his base

Relentless evil's....unforgiving....
Thus....Hitler's still amongst the living
Not quite the original....but there....remains in fact a trace
Of the possibilities
The potentialities
'Cause the n-word....'tis...that badge of honor....to "the" base

...First....Kaepernick then James
Bigotry fanning....the flames....
The Black athlete....in the crosshairs.......debase
...Our President's explicit decision
Animosity's...racial division
...Having sent that n-word....kinda message....to his base
