Racial Slur Avoided

"Do not incur
     a racial slur!"
     Hearing this I laughed 
     And started on that path.

     Big things started moving.
     The Pontiff's wife was swooning. . .
     I stood before the crowd,
     We shared a luxury anger.
  
     "I am here to use the words
     That hurt me as well as you."
     "What words are these?", the rabble repeated.
     "Because of it all,
     I say it to y'all.
     There is no going back.
     Don't die from my attack:
         'Racial Slur'!"
