Fight Back
I brush my teeth every morning,
Toothpaste wobbles and bubbles madly with water,
I rinsed the tongue and push the dregs out like gutter
I don't want to chase you away with mouth odour,
Yet, we all have bad mouth still,
When you unleash you dark words, it makes others ill,
If they ever call you a black monkey,
Call them white Ape; don't eat the trash.
Fight back! When the world makes you little of a human
Fight back ! When they give you reason not to exist,
Some from winter come; some from harmattan
Hug those with their arms open.
My feeling is pregnant of anger and contempt,
Fight back! Just attempt
If you cannot say it,
Call me, I will do it.
