Salutatons to Poet David Lester Young, and to All that these words may read.

Health, Peace and Wisdom.

Thank You for keeping the poetic sWord glowing; and for enriching the American Fine Letters.

I have enjoyed the reading "DNA American Born"; and have learned from its subject dealt.

In reverent appreciation.

Under the Light of Mother Poet,

No, the original Constitution did not. It described those of dark skin from Africa as property to be voted by their owners as three quarters of a vote. Giving slave property owners more voting power than others without human property. And the savages that lived on the land that was taken from them merely by decrees of Kings, had no say at all in this so-called democracy that left out undesirable people as less than human.

We climbed out of that swamp of initial language through amendments that were hard-fought and even a Civil War, but we are not there yet. It is not bleeding liberal to give all men and women a voice and vote. It is wise if one does not want to be overthrown by the poor and vagrant.
