……One would think symbolic…yet…so radically cool…
His last Executive Order…'Forty Acres…and Da' Mule'
Emancipation Proclamation…Slaves were then…freed
Denied compensation…still bound to its greed
….With nowhere……to go…no place….to turn
No food…nor shelter's….gross lack of concern
For centuries of bondage…though nary a dime
……Freedom……itself…the ominous sign
Assuaging…injustice….'Black History's' result….
One month's remembrance…America's ultimate insult
Perhaps….more than symbolic…this crowning jewel…
That last…Executive Order…'Forty Acres…and Da' Mule'
