The Racist Word

a word of fear the hanging of ignorance the conjunction of blood ripping through nature no words just the screams of fear the phrase that are spelled in different ways offensive and abusive to others no abundance just the prayer for a better future the faces that were cowards laughing at the we faces the spelling errors that stained our tongues the feeling of being un educated the words that forever would be defined as offensive not even as the world change, the world that defined us as animals will never change no face , just the eyes that string helplessly take off the anointment of irony and listen to the cries of the ancestors the racist word only starts with one who uses it in an offensive and way we are human beings not animals!
