Old Glory's Somewhere....Crying...Questioning Itself....On Bended Knee Poem by James B. Earley

Old Glory's Somewhere....Crying...Questioning Itself....On Bended Knee



White House riff-raff's
Unforgivable gaffe....
Thus....Mc Cain's
....Wretched....Epitaph

Old Glory's flying at full-staff
.....Though....kneeling quietly...."on bended knee"
Black Athletes' startling vindication.....
Witnessing Trump's Flag waving....hypocrisy

....Egregiously indicative.....
Of humankind's
....Bulbous man's
Small......mind
*
*
Life's irony....

Black Athlete's "spiritual" vindication....
Within....Trump's Flag waving hypocrisy
Somewhere...Old Glory's....at half-staff...crying
......Resting itself - on bended knee


Author's note:
"WHITE HOUSE FLAG NOT LOWERED: The White House flag is no longer at half-staff in honor of the late Sen. John McCain. The flag was lowered for less than 48 hours, a break from precedent that it is lowered until burial, ABC News reports. Other flags around the Capitol remain at half-staff. Pres. Trump nixed issuing a statement praising McCain's heroism, the Wash. Post reports, ‘telling senior aides he preferred to issue a tweet…that did not include any kind words' for McCain."
