a dream deferred

Six years, the Eric Holder DoJ
made measured statements, gathered files of fact.
Too late Loretta Lynch engaged the fray
tough prosecutor, unafraid to act.
No urgency intrudes on Holder's bliss

some other day, he'll get in someone's face.
Each opportunity, he duly missed
from Ferguson, to Trayvon Martin's case.
Attorneys working ill-paid for our feds
saw eight years work just languishing, in dust

each month, another Black man shot and dead
and no DA's been doing what they must.
next year, perhaps we'll claim our legacy,
when Kamala serves Warren as AG.
