Racist Cowardice

He declares and speaks the truth.
Daring to clear the air...
Of polluted deceitful affairs.

Some distrust such crushing done.
Since honesty had never been delivered...
So bare that it glares,
In the face of those delusioned.

Foundations cracking,
From under false assumptions.
Stunning those fantasized,
By such reductions.

And he is qualified to lead them.
Although they wish his lips would soften.
He declares and speaks the truth to them.
Something that has not been done often...
To a nation afflicted with racist cowardice.
