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.
