One Month's Remembrance - America's Ultimate Insult Poem by James B. Earley

……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'
