Billy Thekidster Poet Rhyme

Politically Correct

I'm not politically correct at all.
I find such terms as black, asian or white
just as offensive as any racist term used by any racist in hateful delight.
All such terms, good or bad, only serve to strongly reinforce
the differences of one humanity worldwide across.
I mark "Other" on poll forms whenever asked my race of origin,
and if I must write it out I simply print, "*****sapien."
Country of origin (Where you were born)
I suggest we replace race origins with the above on all the poll forms.
Despite how much we look so differently, why can't we all embrace
the fact that we're all the very same specie?
The One And Only Same Human Race.

Sara Kendrick January 21, 2010 at 4:23 AM A little humor here. Do you suppose that a Dolphin or Whale says to the other fish well I am just a fish? Each species has its own glory to me, beauty, unique abilities, and why not accept what we are and accept what others are. Keep the creative pen flowing. Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work. Sara

Robert A. Dufresne January 21, 2010 at 3:02 AM Well put, William. I think alot of people feel the way you do. I know I do and when I mention it in a crowd, everybody susshes me up ! I guess I just don't know how to act in public, so what's new? Thanks for sharing this important point. Robert
