Saddened……how Bigotry….Infects And Corrupts Poem by James B. Earley

Lone Senator spending hours
..Reading aloud nursery rhymes
Nary a child in the Chamber
...'Tis...insanity's...signs

A Congress suing Obama
.....Would likely sue itself
Shenanigans borrowed
.....From insanity's shelf

Remembering…fried chicken…
Barbeque..and watermelon rinds
…..Caricatures……..aplenty
Amidst….Tea Party signs

Years…I thought…'bigotry'
…..Until emails erupt
With 'Lois Lerner's' wisdom
…Clearing it…..all up

'Crazies'….her words
Plus considerably more
Some I dare not repeat
My upbringing abhors

Criticizing the unbalanced
…Instead consider the source
Though difficult in practice
When it's a matter of course

...Saddened how bigotry
Infects……and corrupts..
My soul thanks Lois Lerner
Indeed…she cleared it all up



Author's Note:
'Lois Lerner, a former IRS official at the heart of the agency's tea party controversy called Republicans ‘crazies' and more in emails released Wednesday.'
