Picnic ~ Thursday, 3 October 2019

Take a year to ponder double standards, 
how one tribe invents a malicious word, 
even after the other tribe adopts 

Paw for pick a winner, no substitute, 
as the n-word is no substitute for 
winner, nor the reverse, such is the curse, 

Paw is the man who speaks so self-righteous, 
as to tell another right versus wrong, 
wrong is the winner of an argument, 

Not so nice, the n-word, no so genteel, 
ever since slavery, uppity blacks 
get angry when non-blacks use the n-word, 
relax Oprah, chill Frames Steward, you wear 
on your sleeve, censorship, worn as a badge, 

Badge of honor, badge of hypocrisy, 
lo and behold the blowtorch I ignite, 
on your use of "friend" on my Instagram, 
when you say, "as a friend," you uppity, 
token black from the East Coast,       righteousness 
on your sleeve, a badge that says, 
      "Oprah's bitch," 
remain superficially black, your skin, 
choice of rhetoric, you enunciate 
humanity with a dagger, "Brute?"
