Caught By Surprise

I have been sadly distraught
Since the day I finally caught
You saying derogatory
Things that shouldn't even be 
Heard or said  by anyone
But laughing you think it fun
At a poker game with friends
Early I came home and then
My ears could not even believe
How your friends and you could be
So racist and bullying
You did not even see me there
Hiding quietly, you weren't aware
Listening to all the hatred
Joking, you were all elated
Puffing on your cigar smoke
Words turned into evil jokes
No idea you were so cruel
There's just one thing I can do
Turn around and leave before
I put your head right through the door
