In this day and age we have this reoccurring issue
Individuals of all generations advocating for a culture of language abuse
Instances of linguistically supported oppression
Whose only intention is to condemn its receivers into a depression
Toxic tongues with the intent to poison your thinking
Promoting all things vile, so fast, nearly blinking
Tell me why words like **** offend you more
Then the degrading usage of the word *****
I’m sick of people using skin tone and gender to map out one’s prospects
Suggesting that not everyone deserves a chance to reach success
Institutionalized prejudice
Don’t stand for any of this
Every individual is beyond just a word
Strive to be the definition that they’ve never seen or heard
Become the human being that they could never be
Resist the forced oppression and strive to be free
