PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

don't call me white

don't call me white



the connotations wearing my nerves thin

could it be semantics generating the mess we're in

i understand that language breeds stereotype

but whats the explanation for the malice and the spite



don't call me white

don't call me white



i wasnt brought here, i was born

circumsized, categorized, allegiance sworn

does this mean i have to take such shit

for being fairskined?  no!

i ain't part of no conspiracy

i'm just you're average joe



don't call me white

don't call me white



represents everything i hate

the soap shoved in the mouth to cleanse the mind

the vast majority of sheep

a buttoned collar, starched and bleached

constricting veins, the blood flow to the brain slows

they're so fucking ordinary white



don't call me white

don't call me white



we're better off this way

say what you're gonna say

so go ahead and label me an asshole cause' i can

accept responsibility for what i've done

but not for who i am



don't call me white

don't call me white
