Henry Louis Gates arrived
To find his home locked down.
Cambridge police came Right away
With shackles handcuff bound.
He showed his ID with address
And picture on his card,
But his wrists were pressed behind him,
Ducking his head in squad car.
Racists thugs in uniforms,
Shining badges of the state
Still regard profiling
As their racist mandate.
Professor Gates of Harvard
On the History track,
Forgot he was respected
When he wound up black.

Babbling on in Babylon: Monsters, Mugshots, & Mayhem and the Poetic Polemics to Fight Them!
Welcome to my blog Babbling on in Babylon: Monsters, Mugshots, & Mayhem and the Poetic Polemics to Fight Them. This is the promotional book blog website for the second volume of the Of Rhyme and Reason book series.
Babbling on in Babylon is a chronological poetic polemic that is in part a follow up to the New Bush Crimes Best Shredder: Dark Side of Buffoon & the Spectrum of Scandals. BOIB takes the ORAR series to the polemic instructions that are featured in the section titled The Ten Demand-ments. We the People have a right to single payer health care, solvent social security, public financing of elections, paper ballots for all elections counted by people, a clean environment, national bank controlled by the people, etc.
BOIB not only satirizes the past year and half events but gives specific instructions on how to stay focused on issues that matter most to the people of this country. I have included a few excerpts from the book on this blog as well as paid reviews. Who says money can't buy ratings? OK, stand up, take action, read the book, call your congress people and take to the streets for things that matter most in our lives. We as a people CAN take back our country from the monolithic corporate structures, but we have to be smart and get honest people in government to help role back corporate personhood.
Best wishes and solidarity!
