The Harvesters (a poem)
Shelby Steele, Michael Steele, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell,
On and on goes this impressive roll
Of sons and daughters whose forefathers bore
With quiet dignity the chains they wore.
On the shoulders of giants they stand with pride
And take to the full what this land can provide.
Humble beginnings won't stop their progress.
Clarence Thomas, Ken Blackwell and others no less
Distinguished. Men and women of this stalwart band
Are the harvesters of the Promised Land.
