- On A More Serious Note
- voters don’t decide the final vote
- the winner’s determined majority, amount-ing
- is declared by those doing the counting
- the Electoral College can undermine
- the voting’s whatever, which way
- for the EC has the final say
- over whom is selected, President of The Day
- alas, peer into the past
- an incident, nullifying public consent,
- we’ve had such a president
- Rutherford B. Hayes beat Samuel J. Tilden
- not by popular persuasion
- but by Electoral College authorization
- Mr. Tilden, a Southern Gentleman
- came too quick after the Civil War
- yet he received the majority
- of the people’s agreement
- striking fear in the North
- go forth, the EC told Mr. Hayes
- You are our new President
- Now they were wise,
- in pulling this trick before the voter’s eyes
- The South had to be taught a lesson
- so disenfranchised, were many southern whites
- for the treason of secession, causus belli
- they were stripped of the privileges and rights
- couldn’t hold public offices or even vote
- Blacks were then empowered
- and protected by Federal Blue Coats
- so, although, upset, Mr. Tilden
- did accept, the Hayes-Tilden Compromise
- didn’t sue, fight, stepped aside relenting
- so Mr. Hayes could do the President-ing
- oh, yes, the Blue Coats, protecting the Blacks
- first thing to do, Mr. Hayes had to retract
- his troops back north
- and the killing, un-noticed, went forth
- murdering with such, we lost the war, savagery
- it is written, that a Nigger was hanging,
- dangling from every tree
- Roots bloody, as far as the Eye could see
- now those remembering in The South
- what do you think they’re thinking,
- with President Obama in the White House…R.D.Revilo
