Barack Obama foreign born?
Those who affirm that lie
Do more than factual reason scorn,
And here is what and why:
Deep-seated insecurity
Reveals itself therein,
That fraudulent hegemony
Is founded on their skin.
The citizens and families
Of longer pedigree,
In the US — no short-term lease —
Were born of slavery,
While immigrant-descendents, they
Hold not so deep a claim
To title in the USA,
Latecomers to the game.
Each time these so-called “birthers” talk
Remember what’s their stake,
And why at reasonable fact they balk,
Who’d have and eat one cake.
Anon the borders must come down
And sovereignty realign
Upon a global movement grown
Without a color line.
“All men created equal,” this
Just thinking must affirm
(But some subvert analysis
Because it makes them squirm).
