Come Back Abraham

Come Back Abraham. Come thee back Abraham to do God's solemn work again. To bring fresh new light into the darkening hearts of men. While slavery exists no more, thanks to your brave, even hand, the hatred spawned long ago once again permeates the land. The dark evil that you fought and brought to bloody defeat, rises like a full moon's tide even to the nation's highest seat. The racists have risen again, inciting riotous nights bearing hatred's symbols that subvert our human rights. And so, Abraham, come thee back to tame the racist dog; to bring him to heel and to mute the blatant demagogue.
