His next campaign’s in Tulsa,

the perfect place to be.
He’ll say it was the spot where
he once ended slavery.
More famous, though,
for what had happened, 1921.
Three hundred blacks were massacred,
but he wants campaign fun.
And so, on Juneteenth he’ll be boasting,
to his base and liberal roasting.
He’ll claim love from every creed,
maybe not those deep in need.
He’ll song and dance like vamps in “Thriller,”
words by Stephen ‘Killer’ Miller.
Where’d you rather be instead
of standing on the Tulsa dead?
Oklahoma’s O.K.
But not on this day.
The reasons it’s racist abound.
You just don’t stump on killing ground.
