She Is The Best Qualified Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Whether she is Latino,
African-American.
Caucasian white!
Or anything they decide to be...
Day or night.
Chinese, Korean, Arab...
Homo, lesbian or transvestite!
Hypocrite or hemorphodite!
She is the best qualified.
Like most folks of color.
If it wasn't for that ignorance used...
This country would not be experiencing,
Its current downslide!
Or racial abuses used,
From the onslaught of insecurities!
She would make a terrific supreme justice.
And perhaps...
With too many over qualifying credentials!
