Hypocritically...Politically...Incorrect Poem by James B. Earley

Hypocritically...Politically...Incorrect



Some Trumpeteers...good people perhaps
....A few...adorably....inclined
Rest are said...to be...the epitome....
Of the term...deplorables.....defined

...'Bigot' - 'a person....intolerant
Of another's.....belief......or creed'
'Deplorable'...Webster's Dictionary says
...'Atrocious...in tone...and deed'

And further to Webster's assessment....
Definitions found meaninglessly...hollow
.....Lying...is lying....ain't no denying
Truth...found difficult to swallow

...'Tis denial....born...of hypocrisy
Passion's bigotry...divining it so
Witnessed in the mirrored reflection
...Long...society's....historical glow

Within that fabric...some fine folks
....The rest...documentedly...suspect
Thus validating...the term...'deplorables'...
Hypocritically....politically...incorrect


Author's note:
'You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic - you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people - now 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks - they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket - and I know this because I see friends from all over America here - I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas - as well as, you know, New York and California - but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they're just desperate for change.'
