Poem.

That friendly place

where the language people

gather to act as filters

for what a person

thinks and feels to police

and censor thought–

out of control!

So what!  There are “N” word jokes.

There are a million of them.

Ever heard one?

If you are black and attend an all white party,

brace the wall.  It is the only security.

Still, the off-colored comment probably applies

to human nature, anyway.

To be human is to say what you think and feel–

not only think, as the people in Right might think! 

Fruitless!

Why go into the Everglades

to battle the Seminoles?

    The world the world we live in is more black and white and when that is the case a lot of things come to light, including hurtful biased judgements that create scars. I come from a great land so they say, reverred and respecred by the world around. Do a microscopic view of it, how much are the in-mates of that lad really respected by the world around??
    You know if I were to write all the hurtful things and the curses and pains, I would be indirectly bringing someone down somewhere and that could kill them too, not necessarily the one you want to bring down. When I write, I think about others for many want a positive streak to keep them going.
    Curse on paper and throw it away, but etching it on online rocks becomes history and this can create damage not to that person but to others. Same principle of the N word for your type and the P word for mine.
    Its the principle of do as you would be done by.
    Am a critic at heart, sorry about the length… Cool??? ;-)
