Jim Crow Lives (in Georgia)

White racists in Georgia are madder than MAGA insurrectionists beating police officers with flag poles because voters flipped the state Blue when they (a) went for Biden in the 2020 Presidential election and (b) sent Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff to the US Senate.  Klansmen in the state's legislature responded by passing stringent changes to voting procedures in the state to ensure that they  suppress the votes of Blacks and other minority voters.  The Jim Crow Era in Georgia is morphing into the Jim Crow Eon.

This treasonous and racist act on the part of Georgia legislators -- committed in broad daylight in front of our entire nation -- inspired us to post Emmett Lee Dickinson's poem "Ours -- by the Right of the White Election," below on the left. Dickinson's poem inspired third cousin Emily to pen her poem "Mine -- by the Right of the White Election," below on the right. 

By Emmett Lee Dickinson:
 
Ours – by the Right of the White Election!
Ours – by our Racist Zeal!
Ours – by the Sign of an Ebon ballpoint –
Blacks – cannot appeal!
 
Ours – here – with Klansmen -- and
​          with Jim Crow!
Ours – by a Gross Ordeal –
Titled – Confirmed –
Delirious Power!
Ours – with more Votes to steal!
​

By Emily Dickinson:
 
Mine – by the Right of the White Election!
Mine – by the Royal Seal!
Mine — by the Sign in the Scarlet prison –
Bars — cannot conceal!

Mine – here – in Vision – and
​          in Veto!
Mine – by the Grave's Repeal –
Tilted – Confirmed –
Delirious Charter!
Mine – long as Ages steal!
