Black History - A Mere Month…acknowledged Poem by James B. Earley

Scientific…....credentials
....Documented per facts
Smithsonian designated
…As notable......of Blacks

Our History…in a month
How might rationality claim
A modicum of satisfaction
In such an insidious name

Centuries enslavement
…Paid…..nary…a dime
February's………pittance
Exacerbating the crime

...As small minds will have it
Every twelve months hence
....Smithsonians.....denied
At Black History's...expense
