Live With It

Betty M. White was an ingenuous comedian A hilarious lady and a great actress However, this classy quasi-centenarian Was ahead of her time. Nobody could mess With her. She was immensely talented And was never afraid to express Herself. In 1954, she defied bigoted And racist demands with three words: ‘Live with it'. Unfortunately and wontedly The powerful racists failed to get it And to stop this ‘word' which rhymes with it This ‘it': racist, repugnant and nasty venom Like an insidious cancer or a multiform Virus which won't vamoose or beat it The world will miss Mrs. White Ludden, ‘the First Lady Of Television'. Unfortunately, the Merciful God in His Kingdom Let Satan miseducated, brainwashed or proselytized them The zealots who burnt Black Streets, Capitals, and Farms. P.S. Homage To Betty Marion White, A Legendary Actress and Comedian. Copyright © January,2022, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved Hébert Logerie is the author of several books of poetry.
