Going Back Between the Lines…

(Apropos of A Political Allegory)

 

Often said but even less heeded: The more

things change, the more they stay the same…

there’s nothing new under the…[same]…sun…”

 

Once again, we find ourselves

in the midst of yet another

American Reconstruction;

white printed to save and make

the nation great again—by whatever

republican means deemed necessary.

 

Remember Lincoln’s dilemma

and initial plan to send Us back

to the raped Motherland,

and had the mendacious mendacity

to invite us to discuss the plan?

 

No, It’s not the first time

that we’ve heard, “Go back [echoes]…”;

such was the unofficial preamble 

to the so-called Emancipation Proclamation

with its unofficial 3/5 amendment

and the now infamous Juneteenth delayed

pony express/telegraph delivery.

 

As we ponder today’s racist reconstruction

rhetoric, let us be mindful of its political party

equanimity: remember George Wallace?

Many more of his hue, are on the present ticket

than are of the dark hue of the first POTUS!  

 

Often said but even less heeded: The more

things change, the more they stay the same…

there’s nothing new under the…[same]…sun…

The state of the nation today

is as it always has been; racism veiled

constitutionally veiled in political allegory:

“All men are created equal and are endowed

by their creator…”  does not include those

who were and are still deemed to be 3/5.

 

Yes, the white print and coded footprints

to making America great again, is well documented

in his-story, and can no longer be a footnote

in ours; lest we forget that his-story always seeks

to repeat itself.

 

Finally, let us not decline to decipher present

allegorical racist rhetoric, being extolled today

by America’s greatest pontificator; her  most colorful

political clown-character since Uncle Sam.  Rather,

let us contemplate and get wisdom and understanding.

 

So, “…attend unto…[the] wisdom, and bow thine ear

to…[the] understand”:  for the darker hue American

citizens to go back to where they came from, is to be

returned to America’s most peculiar institution—slavery!

 

Once more and again, often said but even less

heeded: “The more things change, the more

they stay the sameThere’s nothing new under

the…[same old]…sun…”
