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!
