Offensive Poem by Cory Huennekens

Offensive



An African is a nigger
A film is noir
A picture is black and white
A country is Nigeria
Spanish has negro
And Latin niger

Black is black and there’s nothing wrong with that,
Take the hate out of the word and you simply have black,
Let us close our eyes and all see the same,
Then we’ll raise a unified voice, pouring like rain,
As long as color is important, more than the heart,
We can bid farewell to peace, we shall always be apart.

Love your neighbor as yourself, whatever the color, whatever else.
