Who's......On First? Poem by James B. Earley

Author's note:
On 21 June 1989, the United States Supreme Court upheld the rights of protestors to burn the American flag. JBE

...Kneeling....is banned
Yet the law of the land....
Confounds the notion surrounding
....The NFL
Bigoted as hell....
Its hypocrisy literally....astounding

Apparently....the Flag is a rag
....So whatever ones bag
Supreme Court....says it's OK to burn it
....Burning....seems far more appealing
Than Black athletes kneeling....
At least that's how SCOTUS perceives it

Now...we have the NFL
.....Bigoted as hell
Sheer hypocrisy literally abounding
....Kneeling...is banned
Though the law of the land....
Confounds the notion....surrounding
