Silver spoons were spit-shin'd and polished by hands of the darker hue,
No yorkshire pudding enter'd the mouths of a family called Robinson or the divorcee nursing a mulatto marvel.
Dashikis in the pulpit do not "A True Christian" make;
Light-skinned preacher cannot trace his own ancestry.
Old retir'd preacherman losing credibility turns back to shuckin' & jivin', National Press Club always was a sucker for a free Al Jolson minstrel show,
But do we dare judge a man from his associations without judging the true heart of that individual?
Human actions of the past and the present are a key.
Will the true American keymaster lock up the dreamer
Will the true Americans allow media to tell them what to do when they refuse to find THE TRUTH for themselves?

Check out the Stephen Cobert video with Michelle Obama. Just had oral surgery with two upper wisdom teeth removed from my right and left jawbones in my own head...(smile) so I can't be here long:

Michelle's Biography that the Media will not tell:
http://www.infoplease.com/biography/var/michelleobama.html
From a woman who knows what it is like to hide her identity to make white people feel comfortable until I learned to be myself--regardless of the boneheads that surrounded me in my own life:
I, Cynth'ya, as a woman am very moved my Michelle's intelligence, her wit, and her honesty. If you believe in equal rights for women, how can a woman president whose husband disrespects women represent us all?

All we can do is to pray that we makes the right choice
Because the media only conveys what they
Think we want to hear all we can do is pray!!

Now then onto the poem which captivates from the first line. The composition of words is elegant and bone bare. Your style is unique and enriched. I fell head over heels into your world of words.
As for Bill and 'sexual problems' PUUUUUUUUHLEEEEEEEASSSSSSE. All of us were traumatized as children in one form or another, present day society permits it be acceptable by painting quaint little psychological monikers over every day foul ups. We are human and fallible. Excuses do no one an ounce of good.

First of all, hope you feel better. Ow. Oral surgery *cringe*
Second, the media will only tell us what we want to hear: the more vicious it is, the more scandalous (know I spelled that wrong), oh! We want more! Especially if it's a lie - shame on us, for listening, for falling for it.
Still and all, a preacher should not say "GD", especially in church. That's highly offensive to me.
I only hope that America makes the right choice, or we're all in trouble.
Excellent write - well done.
(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
