"Words Fail Me"

 

Black Culture

Black Colour

Black Politics

 

All put together regardless if it fits

Throw enough mud and it sticks

Homo sapiens should have more wits

 

A word for your culture or belief

Should not cause for consternation or grief

A word for physical description

A word for political status

Should cause no one to berate us

 

What is annoying to me

Words stripping one of individuality

What if you are only 1 or 2 of 3

People generalise and it makes me angry

I get so cross……words fail me.
