Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 John Wayne Talk

John Wayne, hero, when I grew up.

"Patriot" was his middle name.

All American straight, white - yup!

National treasure star of fame.

In 1971 he

Did a Playboy mag interview,

Said Native Americans be

Selfish losers who got their due,

Said blacks were inferior till

Whites educated them okay,

Said welfare was a wasteful ill,

Said it was wrong to be fag gay.

Today minorities and young

Protest such talk from John Wayne's tongue.
