There Are Worse Things to be Called

There are worse things to be called

than to be called a racist:

Coward and Poltroon

Degenerate, Deserter

A follower…in a self-righteous cocoon

 

There are worse things to be called

Than to be called a racist:

One not knowing value, Only cost

A small man,

frightened and lost

 

There are worse things to be called

Than to be called a racist:

Turncoat, Traitor

And enemy collaborator

 

There are worse things to be called

Than to be called a racist:

Hater of one’s kith and kin

Loving the other side

A lickspittle to the elite

enacting fratricide

 

There are worse things to be called

Than to be called a racist:

Watermelon green on

outside, inside red,

And finally,

extinct or

dead…
