The Nigger Word.

A blast of hatred of acid tongues, A needless phrase to scold the tall, A forgotten hero they never mention, Take a look at the one called Robert Smalls. A swipe by fist of foul means, A dangerous concoction of sparks, A cowards language of sorts, Take a look at the one called Rosa Parks. A definition of weakness in ruling, A slap in the face of the now free, A collapsed cult now gone forever,, Take a look at the one called Isabella Baumfree. A word is a word to fight and hurt, A sentence pinned together from fools, A paragraph of silence descends upon you, The N word no longer a relevant tool.
