An image….of Ben Carson
Comes immediately to mind
Barbecued ribs…fried chicken
…Amidst watermelon rinds
Caricatures……..aplenty
Whose bigotry reminds
That “taking our Country back”
Meant…another place and time
Might political change of heart
Be some orchestrated sham
….Politics……being politics
Another Tea Party……scam
Prejudice…never the malady
….That simply evaporates
What once…totally despised
….One…most likely…still HATES
Hence…history’s peculiarity
Knowingly repeating itself…
In yesterday’s…..caricatures
…….On history’s……….shelf
Hauntingly…….Ben Carson
....Comes eerily to mind
Barbecued ribs…fried chicken…
Tea Party’s….watermelon signs
