Candidate Glass is a victim
Of an alleged Fox News smear
They wanted to depict him
In an apparent context of jeer
He gave a response well spun
For with him everyone wins
He’s here to fight for everyone
For all those in the margins
There is one demographic
Over which he never obsesses
There is an unwanted group
Whom he never addresses
Trapped in my white skin
As a male born and identify
I harbor feelings of exclusion within
And I know exactly why
A homophobe I’ve been called
Although my beloved son is gay
For if with progressives you aren’t enthralled
You are extremely easy prey
At the NIH I sought employment
My candidacy they did decline
The one who got the job was a gent
With skin color different from mine
I heard a group discuss
In a tone now familiar and trite
“That pool’s not for us
Because everyone there is white”
The bosses of Montgomery and Selma
Felt they were members of noblesse
It was perfectly OK to insult
To expropriate and to oppress
Sixty years later they are exactly the same
Of themselves thinking only
There is always someone else to blame
Acting no better than a bully
A generation will pass
And their children will see
How they behaved with such crass
And despised everyone equally
Until that time comes, using his skills as a reporter
Candidate Glass should no longer condone
Insults, discrimination, bigotry by any supporter
Explicitly in public or quietly in undertone
