Gershon Wolf Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

Perhaps it's noteworthy that by the time 'Brown vs. the Board of Education' (1954) finally overturned 'Plessy vs. Ferguson' (1898), AND it was finally mplemented everywhere in the 1960's, the 'Black Power' movement already opposed integration for its own sake... Will America wait too long to reward Asian-Americans for academic excellence, continuing to punish them instead via 'affirmative-action'-style 'diversity' quotas?  My prediction: Violence is coming. As Mick Jagger once warbled, 'It's just a shout away!'

The Dawn of the Rising Sun

The prediction business, notoriously crooked
    but thought I'd take a quick look at it

  Neither to forecast financial ups or downs
    turning NYSE smiles to frowns

  Nor to set odds on upcoming sports events
    too much depends on the element of chance

  I'm here to predict something inevitable
    as sure as mother's milk is delectably edible

  Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean-Americans
    will learn from the black man, who screamed, "Yes, I can

  intimidate the white man into doing my bidding"
    and now whitey's afraid of him ~ You know I'm not kidding ... 

  The Asians have earned their spot at the top of the university heap
    but they won't ever get there 'til they stop acting like sheep

  Waiting for the 'so-called Wheels of Justice' to grind
    is for those who 'to wait forever politely' wouldn't mind

  How long did it take for 'Separate but Equal' to be overturned?
    from 1896-1954: 58 years of 'broken-windows' schools where ghetto 
                                                                                blacks didn't learn ...

  I predict that when Asian-led terror strikes the heart of the system
    just watch the phony elites and their friends pretend to be victims

  Though the one thing about terror (they forget) is it gets results ~
    Check out how Radical Islam, China and Russia exult

Michael Tor May 31, 2023 at 8:00 PM Applause for speaking truth here my friends and having the courage to say so. Big thumbs up Gershon... Gershon Wolf May 31, 2023 at 11:20 PM And a big thumbs up to you, Michael, for having the guts to comment on this one. I imagine not too many folks take kindly to my line about 'whitey'-elite being afraid of the militant black man. But he is afraid -- unlike most of the rest of the country and the world...
