President
Your rating:
<br> YOUNGER BROTHER<br> The Republican vice-presidential candidate was to be in the city that evening to attend a rally. The Secret Service was at<br> the ready. The recent assassination of President McKinley had been a lesson well learned. Guns were going off everywhere. <br> <br> (The Vice Presidential campaign enters. Posters, banners, a marching band, the incumbent candidate waving. He poses for<br> photographs with J.P. MORGAN on the back of a train. But it's all slightly surreal, as filtered through SARAH's<br> consciousness.) <br> <br> SARAH<br> I'll tell him...<br> President, I am coming to you<br> On behalf of Coalhouse Walker<br> He don't know I'm here...<br> He's much too proud!<br> And I ain't much of a talker<br> But President, he needs your help, sir<br> You're the only one<br> 'Cause Coalhouse, he won't marry me<br> Till this thing is done<br> And President, we got a son! <br> <br> (The march music is suddenly very loud, very real. SARAH breaks through the police barricade and rushes towards him, her arm<br> outstretched to him.) <br> <br> SARAH<br> President! President!!<br> <br> MORGAN<br> She's got a gun! <br> <br> (The police officers club SARAH with their nightsticks. She falls to the ground.)<br> <br> [Thanks to Yehuda Alexander for lyrics]<br> <br>
