SHAMES DIFFERENCE (about using the N. Word)
Folder:
JOURNAL #19 attributed not just to today
too sadly enough though still
to the whole of modern mankind
is truly a most foul and abusive term
one of which I vow most personally
not to ever use in all good
conscience concerning myself
where insult is chosen
for in my opinion
this very nasty and hate laced
word cursedly reeks from its very
own rot
at the core of such irreprehensible
contempt
defiling the minds of our young
with its ghastly gutter filth
form of language
its much too loosely moderated usage
today belies
no respect
appallingly crude even in its most
general usage tends to be its intent
that is why in many's opinion
it sorely lies
right at the very bottom dredges of
society's code for natural acceptance
when in fact such ill aimed and
purposefully denigrating
a word should be eternally deleted from
clear across the board
of the already far too polluted near
universal vocabulary of western civilizations
far beyond brutal inmate's minds
black, brown, red whether white or yellow
alike
from here on out folks
lets make a unified effort to boycott the
all too often only meant to be hurtful
or derogatory term 'NIGGER'
how it pains me just to simply write it
as it is of little more worth than a careless
weapon
one aimed solely aimed at harming my worthy
fellow brother of spirit
the black man
I stand here on my word
today to take it back
for all time
in my own personal vocabulary..........
