The limping soul

who begged a lift

in Jasper town that day,

had no grand philosophy,

cared only to go home.

Three drunken louts

who stopped their truck

were grander though, by far.

Strongmen of the aryan race

they must earn their tribal scar.

As Toe climbed in the pickup,

he was trusting, free of hate.

Grateful to the three kind men

who stopped for him that day.

To show whites so superior,

they beat Toe to a pulp.

Then conscious, weak, and terrified,

they chained him to the truck.

No time or strength to scream or cry,

as Toe smashed on the road.

Head left in the gutter.

Flesh all strewn about.

Pathetic drunken heroes,

had won their racial war.

The Aryan Nations

welcome them,

to the bosom of their cause.

JASPER, TX — Three men with reported ties to white supremacist groups were charged with chaining a black man to a pickup truck and dragging him two miles, tearing off his head, part of his neck and his right arm.

The victim, 49-year-old James Byrd Jr., (known as 'Toe') was a father of three who loved music and was friendly and well-known around town. He was walking home from a niece's bridal shower, authorities said, when the three white men picked him up on a dirt road in this timber town, tucked into the piney woods of East Texas. They took him to an isolated area, officers said, where he was beaten and then pulled behind the truck until he died.
