[hometext] => for SAMs' Jacki Robinson Day; and the false hope that Democracy will end Racism and promote intergrated equality.
[bodytext] => SAM's Panegyric, to that, Mr. Robinson, who placates servants; "A life is not important except impact" lights the court-martialed torch; carries it past first, that blurs democracy's Cant; stokes implications, From the fair forehead of the second baseman's block; yet turns other cheek, past neutral shortstop, who abominates all vows as false, dicers' oaths; Jackie rounds third base past Frank, the black coach, missing; past third base elbows; heading through catchers' head butt; as infield throws miss, Jackie touched Home Plate After lettering four sports; now four bases; an infield home run, Heaven's face doth glow, avarice, Chock Full o' Nuts till New York Giants, die from pulchritude; as Queen Gertrude concluded, heart disease weakened Jackie, as blind eyes could not diverge the candid truth: Racism lives.
