Poems for Trump #23 Birtherism.

Birtherism …

Birtherism is not too subtle really,
you have a black man
with a foreign
sounding name
who’s President,

you keep on
& on
about it,
questioning his birth place,
his college records,
his allegiances,
his very right
to be where
he is.

It’s a deliberate thing,
its not hidden
at all
really,

& at its core,
its pure
& utter
racism.

Its questioning a
black mans place,
a black mans rights,
a black mans worth,

it was not subtle,
what Trump
did here
in this land,
when the first
African-American President,
so proudly
took his place.

The questioning
of a black man’s
place
is an evil,

and this!
this!

this is how
Donald J. Trump
first
made his name
in politics.
