They were not aloneâ
celebrated actors and actresses,
astute intellectuals and movie directors,
cowered under kitchen tables in fear.
Suddenly,
those who had embraced mix-breed radicals
as tides to shores under a motherly moon,
under the glaring heat of patriotic fervor,
quoted scriptures, finger-licking
the sugary Popsicle of privilege.
Their consciences on trial,
purred for mercy
meowed furry lullabies
for hand-outs
from wealthy caressing hands,
crooned nursery rhymes
endorsed by the weak-kneed fans.
