On some height, and blown always
With arms fully extended
Embracing it.
If stiff frozed through!
If wails transmit!
A deep valley, o'erlooking
Or that, deeper
For a great sea.
Soul. A condemned
World - kindredly!
Slur in time move side to side
deter all hesitation;
Transfer of lively hormones,
pure magic set in motion;
Buy one more heighten the buzz,
high on what it’s feeding me;
My mind is on a joyride,
I wonder if you can see.
One second of Joy is another second of sorrow
One minute of triumph is another minute of defeat
It seems that all I see now is a blur
I cannot speak anymore without a slur
I hear many voices from all different directions
Spoken and unspoken words were all objections
Disgust and horrified with all this irrelevance
Can we all agree to ignore our arrogance
"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'!"
Racial Slur Did Occur
We heard that Trump said a racial slur;
Which right before our eyes did occur;
Intimidating;
Humiliating;
Yet, what it was never knew for sure.
Jim Horn
In this day and age there's still racial slurs
Thought all that was over but it still occurs
Adam Jones was the target
Human scum at their darkest
How can these low lifes justify this ugly curse
