The Hearings

I believed Anita Hill;
So did all my friends.
History repeats itself;
We know how it ends.

Watching makes my stomach turn
For loyalists won’t budge
And thus the Court will have on board
Another suspect judge.

It really isn’t a surprise
When those in our regime
Distort the truth with consequences,
In this case, Supreme.

Henry Washington

Black loyalist
One time slave of George Washington
Fighting with the British against rotten Yankees 
3000 blacks went with us and came with us 

In the States now
Black folks but seeming there now just left to rot
But cherished now our black loyalists in England
Part of us 

Last night I dreamt a dreary dream
Beyond the clashing rocks 
I saw a dead man win a fight
And I think that man was I

Premium Member Vermin of a Lesser Sextant

It's a grand old boat-still quite reliable.
But from the darkness below.
A crimson breasted leviathan is clawing holes.
Deep into its starry soul.
She's quickly listing.
Vermin gnawing away at the sextant.
Panic is hastily jumping ship.
With the NorthStar stuffed in their bindles...

The loyalists are bailing water.
Hope garnished in salt and blistered.
Predators are slowly circling in.
To the sound of a cracked conche.
