FATE OF A NATION? Even as diversity promotes our wealth, within every furless, civilized ape gather signs of an all too common self as color, smell, speech, hair, eyes, shape, clothing, folklore and religious consent prove WE are the people and nobody else! - such dumb pretention never content to credit an upright, two-legged gait, so ethnic vanity stirs racial hate after 300 years of White abuse angry Black bias yearns to break loose on our guilty habit and rule of forbearance these slave-bred descendants advance with the weapon of terrible habits birthing out babies like rabbits growing to gang White families out advantage Black election day clout voting Brothers and Sisters up there to turn the Man's legalities "fair", though a few bright Afro jewels educate up to their class renewal, more train to be sports go-getters but rank in O.J.'s Othello curse, of first equally good and better then just as bad and worse with home boys in the hood criminal terror says good if slavery is never forgiven then never a safe White haven from THAT content of character lurks such a devious malfactor half a million men walked away from Farakhan's eloquent essay as growing "ghettoes" propagate fear White enclaves sell out and disappear and nice White liberals funding Civil Rights find neighborhood walking unsafe at night, now surrounded by the new Black majority, wonder if equality was the true priority, conned by an equally two-faced population, ask "Hey, whatever happened to integration?!" Founding Fathers could not have forseen a tragic end to their democratic dream, blessings of freedom corrupted and sour in masses addicted to tribal power. Listen, out there! Did you hear that scream? What new horror now, what bloody extreme?!
