Abe Lincoln As a Democrat
Abe Lincoln As A democrat

The evil of men being sold
Long past, since Mr. Lincoln's fight
Still, dark suspicion blooms and grows
And loots the cause of civil rights
The North designed a whipping horse
Down in the segregated South
Yet, Major Leagues were all up north
For eighty years, no blacks allowed
Conservatives, oddly accused
Of vitriol toward dark skin
A straw dog constantly abused
By those refusing to relent
Who wish to even up the score
A fool's revenge which has no end
For those deservedly abhorred
Are long-since dust, gone with the wind
But jess and al, those lib'ral whores
Still drudging up the Selma bridge
Are profiteers who need race war
Elsewise, their scheme would come unhinged
Though white as victim will not fly
Be they a Christian, even less
Tormenters need no alibi
Beyond one racial epithet
As long as liberals dictate
The mores of society
They'll uninspire and agitate
And harmony won't be achieved
It seems pure logic won't compute
In most who choose the lib'ral course
White guilt means ever-changing rules
A common core steeped in remorse
The proof of caring is by deed
Not pittances to win a vote
But teaching one how to succeed
Improves a nation as a whole
Libs deem most blacks incapable
Of intellectual pursuit
And, thus, provide mere staples to
A voting bloc dazed and confused
Both crime and anger, guaranteed
When life feels like a futile climb
They've food to eat, but cannot feed
The starving regions of their minds
While black Conservatives are scorned
Pariahs all, banes to their race
Despite those inner city born
Who prove one can control his fate
Ben Carson should be lionized
He and his brother beat the odds
Their single mom, a guiding light
While holding down two meager jobs
Don't ever look for Dr. Ben
With any lib'ral talking heads
You'll have to turn on FNN
The "face of hate," so say the nets
The greatest irony of all
Progressives are what they accuse
Behind closed doors, blacks are appalled
By almost every lib'ral view
And yet, they give their vital votes
To those who use the same playbook
They add some words, like "change" and "hope"
It's fifty years... just take a look
The only change is for the worse
The only hope is hopelessness
But blacks cling to the lib'ral purse
The very strings that caused this mess
They're taught Conservatives will bind
And slowly crucify their race
They buy the misplaced lib'ral lie
Slyly disguised as love, not hate
Libs dominate what's heard by blacks
The free networks all see to that
In time, our text books will redact
Abe Lincoln as a democrat
