 Example Poem

Forfeited Opportunity     (La Grange Quatrain)

Undeserved, he's still receiving

approbation from the left.

While the right is past deceiving

and he forces wide the cleft.

A white guilt, earned by grandfathers

and augmented by black pride

brought to office one who bothers

not at all laws to abide.

Our first black to claim the title

has mis-used the office throne

gaining wealth as though entitled.

redistributes what's our own.

Were I black I'd be resenting

the destruction he's allowed;

this historic representing

should have made all races proud.
