McCain Campaign Says Obama Is Playing the ‘Race Card’

McCain Campaign Says Obama Is Playing the ‘Race Card’

this is not a card
that either man has to play

for one is was played for him
when he came out of his mother's womb
with dark skin
for the other
it was been laid in the patchwork of a shameful
divisive history

and the more recent turns of the card
a fight against MLK in Arizona
Bill Clinton's rantings in South Carolina
Jesse Jackson's (un?)intentional whispers
and millions of people who admit
they will never vote for a black man
have taken the card out of both men's deck

it just that they now agree
that each of them see
the elephant in the room

McCain Keeps Up Attack on Obama’s War Stance

McCain Keeps Up Attack on Obama’s War Stance

every soldier knows
a promise to keep him home

but lies told repeatedly
can win elections

praising victory
in a deadly, crooked game
no one should have played
