Hey Mitch McConnell... about all this talk (I hear) about indefatigable (Phila/ Philly-buster)

rew4er2nail

Police sirens wail doth punctuate the air

ear splitting soundclouds blare

another typical arrest

(guilty until proven innocent if ever)

so much for Black Lives matter protests

biased accusations didst plainly reveal

how strong arm off the law doth err

injustice against persons of color ain't fair

 

discrimination toward mine brethren insnare

prejudice against skin color

finds white supremacists to jeer

I don't blame Senate Minority Leader,

yet his clout asserted

courtesy gesticulating midair

helping to legislate

(outside his Kentucky bailiwick)

against racial profiling nightmare.

 

I live far from city of brotherly love,

a peacemonger at heart else known as a dove

yours truly ofttimes seeks succor

tilting head above.

 

Nevertheless (meaning no matter

yours truly lives safe distance from

where citizens take up arms

showing themselves mad as a hatter)

humility devoid of white privilege,

one country bumpkin does flatter

himself versus those donning haughtiness

trumpeting arrogance, bombasity, conceit...,

qua egotistical chatter.

 

Such nonstop ceaseless bluster

characterizing prolonged speech

never employed courtesy

General George Armstrong Custer

unbeknownst to above named Civil War fighter,

nary non violent stonewalling tactics,

he did not muster

namely delaying antics named filibuster

from Dutch word meaning "pirate"

became popular in the 1850s.

 

As an aside,

the Battle of the Little Bighorn

in Montana a fiasco

for said United States Army officer,

(a cavalry commander

in American Civil War

and American Indian Wars)

decimated his 7th cavalry regiment

against a band of Lakota Sioux

and Cheyenne warriors.

 

Native Americans got bum rap

essentially their tribes encountered deadly zap,

no matter mass slaughter, née genocide

occurred (figuratively) fast as fingers snap

essentially life, liberty

and pursuit of happiness abrogated

forever caught in cross hairs of bigotry trap.
