Poem
A Portrait of George Zimmerman By Elton Camp It was the meeting room of the local KKK Genii, Hydras, Titans, Furies present that day The Grand Cyclops was to direct the meet So he had already donned his white sheet A Confederate battle flag was on display A sign declared, “God bless James Earl Ray” A picture of robed men and flaming cross Showed, of fair play, they had a total loss The infamous “N” word was bandied about Of their sentiments, there can be no doubt “Brothers, robe up so the meeting can begin” The Grand Cyclops’ words activated the men From a cabinet, their robes they withdrew White hoods pulled over their heads too Onstage, an American flag hung from a pole Hands on hearts, they reverently did extol With the Klavern members all properly regaled The Grand Cyclops, minority groups assailed Jews, blacks, Catholics, gays got a drubbing “All these filthy critters need a good scrubbing.” Sending blacks to Africa, the Grand Cyclops advocated And told how their “uppity ways” he so intensely hated “Brothers, we now have a new model who we praise.” From a picture, a concealing cloth he did raise A photo of a man with cuts on the back of his head “God bless George Zimmerman,” the caption read The whole Klavern clapped and with a frenzied shout Showed they had a new hero they could rave about
