Scalia's death struck Clarence Thomas mute
although he's never much inclined to speak
except to quip when he was being cute
no wisdom from his lips is seen to leak
George Bush the elder deemed that a Black face
would pass with only shallow scrutiny
unfit to sit in Thurgood Marshall's place
he perched on Antonin's right knee
a rubber stamp on rulings that regress
nostalgic for the era of Jim Crow
content Scalia always knows what's best
and that our Constitution says it's so
he sits as if in vegetative state
a lifetime past his expiration date
