Reverend Wright, lite... and ewww you're a nasty poet!

The following quote is from Reverend Joseph Lowery at the inauguration of President Barack Hussein Obama: “We ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get in back, when brown can stick around, when yellow will be mellow, when the red man can get ahead, man; and when white will embrace what is right.” So far so bad, the man who promised to be the President to all, including those who did not vote for him selected Reverend Lowery who then proceeds to lecture white people, urging them to "embrace what is right" News flash Rev. Lowery, if it wasn't for white people, Obama would still be a Senator.


At the inauguration, a poem was read, a bad poem. It was that modern, free form style of poetry that more resembles a speech with an annoying cadence than a poem. While, the inaugural poem, written and performed by Elizabeth Alexander entitled "Praise Song for the Day", was innocuous at best, another poem by Alexander is quite disturbing. If you have a weak stomach, read no further.

"Neonatology
Is
funky, is
leaky, is
a soggy, bloody crotch, is
sharp jets of breast milk shot straight across the room, is
gaudy, mustard-colored poop, is postpartum tears that soak the baby’s lovely head.
Then everything dries and disappears
Then everything dries and disappears

Neonatology

is day into night into day,
light into dark into light,
semi-and full-fledged,
hyperconscious, is funky, is funny: the baby farts,we laugh.
The baby burps, we smile, say “Yes.”
The baby poops, his whole body stiffens, then steam heat floods the pipes.
He slashes his nose with nails we cannot bear to trim,
takes a nap, and the wounds disappear.
The spirit lives in your squirts and coos.
Your noises and fluids are what you do.

Neonatology"

This is an excerpt, not the complete poem, but it doesn't get any better. There is another lovely passage about the afterbirth that is truly insipid and ridiculous. Keep in mind, these two people were CHOSEN by President Obama to be at his inauguration. Yet another racist reverend and a writer who considers the grotesque and scatalogical to be poetry. The main stream media ignored the associations of now President Obama, and by ignoring them labeled them as not newsworthy. President Obama now has a free pass to bring anybody he wants into the governmental fold. This is going to be an unpleasant 4 years.

The Civil Rights movement is over for black people in my opinion. When someone like Pres. Obama lands the job he did with the thin resume that he has.. how can anyone of the same color use their race as an excuse.

There. I said it.

Michael,
Thank you so much for writing about this!

It was driving me crazy yesterday.
