The Seventy-Seven Who Still Believe In White Heavin

A Poem By Greg Coleman

MUCH HAS BEEN SAID
ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC DREAD
TONIGHT HILLARY SPEAKS
TO TRY AND RESTORE THE PEACE
SOME OF HER WORDS WILL REACH SOME PEOPLE’S EARS
SOME OF HER WORDS WILL REACH SOME PEOPLE HEARTS
THE EFFECTS THAT HER WORDS HAVE
WILL DEPEND ON THE COLOR OF THE RECIPIENT’S HEART
FOR NO MATTER HOW HARD SHE TRIES
TO THE IGNORANT, PREJUDICED RACIST
HER WORDS WILL JUST DIE
OF THESE FEW
SHE MAY REACH 3,5,10, OR 11
BUT EVEN HILLARY CAN’T REACH THE SEVENTY-SEVEN
WHO STILL BELIEVE IN WHITE HEAVIN
