Poem Number 20344

Equal Opportunity

Then there's this great secretary
of state which had bought his great
great grandfather from Africa
running affairs of ex-enslavers

In a jail sits a white priest
who'd defrocked before a kid
He prays with a born again
christian, a de-barred lawyer

Opportunities are equal
People are not equal
