Bending toward justice

CATEGORY

Views: 173

attention: Gary May - to thee admirable, creditable, estimable...Professor Emeritus of History - without whose insightful tomb "bending toward justice" - though some few years since said storied treatise hot off the press sans: your supreme riveting, nauseating, disquieting wanton venomous unfairness, tremendous scandalous readable queasiness, per opprobrious nefarious malicious larcenous knowledge, judiciously industriously honorably grafting flagrant execrable defrauding deeds, co-opting black americans freedom to vote, i just completed reading totally tubular uber up lyft ting laudable research.

no doubt, deluge of primary colorful tasks takes precedence ahead
of perusing an email from this anonymous lower merion, 
   Pennsylvania bum-stead
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -
the seat of the pants, page-turning information 
   definitely found me empathetic with cred
jewel hiss angst cleaving enmity toward the gross 
   intolerable keep mulatto vote dead
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

the stifled sotto voce plaintive wail - that rustled 
   suffocatingly silenced cry echoing from each page 
   my whip smart daughter (a sophomore 
   at university of pennsylvania) scribbled notes
   viz peoples of color found me choked up 
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

writhing with anger toward every egghead
who deliberately held back vested inalienable rights of Negro,   
which brutal, denigrating, foul pushed darker melanin persons - 
they exhibited defiance before forfeiting lives 
perishing in Pyrrhic victory or fled
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

to regroup and/or fragment into sundry approaches to acquire
shunning peaceful resistance such as older folks preference
   vocalizing hymnals sung in the choir
   whereby youth’s hearts burned with brimstone and fire
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

recruiting militant guerilla army for hire
loosening retaliatory actions from white bigots with vehement ire
to trample any vestige of righteousness, 
coordinated with fabrications spun by j.edgar hoover 
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

who as director of the FBI effaced worthiness 
   those, a scant number of generations enslaved - defiled as a liar
which rubric of democracy essentially, a charade, facade, inlaid 
with ludicrous mockery, shameless trickery, and travesty plier.
-     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -     -

even to this day (which enlightenment rent 
   my soul with pained agony) and a de sire
to avoid actions countenancing the web of deceit, hate, 
   lurid Machiavellian chicanery, the recurrent theme did tire
yet, this mwm felt an obligation 
   to read every last word, than send you this wire.
