Never been such described
a Characterization never afore beheld or levelled
so it was quite a shock
then way down the line I realized it was
The Nuclear Option
and once launched there is no shelter
no antidote, no effective deterent, remedy or cure
it wipes out and disintegrates what was before
The waring Antagonists are mad
it was scorched earth, total **** or bust
thier hatred was beyond compare
only the Nuclear option will do
So they pressed the button and launched
now know this
only the very few who have experienced
the fall-out would know
and they would all be brown successful people
Here, let me expansiate
Firstly, that Nuclear Option is just one word
'ARROGANCE'
Yes, as simple as that
the minute that word is hung on a successful brown person
they are stitched up and immediately attract HATE
at once all perceptions of them changes
nothing riles like an 'arrogant' black person
As Kevin said
'they will hype you UP to break you DOWN'
take a sledge-hammer to crack a peanut
So they put the word around, spat it out with a snarl
see that brown one there, sooo arrogant! blah blah blah
at once the mud start flying
Suddenly if you smile, its an arrogant smile
you walk, its an arrogant walk,
you say hello, its arrogant, you don't say hello,
its arrogance. you sneeze, its arrogant
you get my drift, perceptions has been tainted
and one is now a 'marked person.
And everyone is now ready to tear a strip off you
Equality and Diversity, yes my mama, the Pope is Hindi
as long as you know your place and diverse accordingly
you can fling it about till it flings you about
just stay in your lane
if you excell make sure you doff your cap
but do nothing wrong but stand tall and own your talent,
they will launch the Nukes bomb on you hey presto
Heaven forbid you have a Title
What! who are you? go ask Mergan Markle
and look up what 'uppity whatsnot' means in Blighty parlance
So our dear unmentionable here
didn't know standing up to bullying thieves
and Extortionists was an act of arrogance
despite the fact I'd never exchanged a cross word
with anyone brown, blue. yellow, white or pink before
but come see hostilities aplenty, come see pettiness in droves
Careers are destroyed, lives ruined
come see all and sundry taking a pop
intent on reducing you, intent in making you feel small
because of a perception that is subjective rather than real
And the Brown colour that seem to accentuates
certain fits so fetchingly and corrosively
Go ask Naomi Campbell
She's called ARROGANT as well,
and though still standing she hasn't escaped unscathed
And there's a radio-active man walking around now
because he stood up to a gang of thieves
