The N-Word

By Daryl Bracken

I love to say the N-word
Just to make some people mad
I still don't understand
Why the words considered bad

They say it almost everywhere
I Hear it at the parks
I hear it at the stores
I hear it uptown, Downtown
Even underground

It is realy weird this N-word
I have seen it make some cry
I have seen it make some angry
I have seen it make some OHH & Ahh
and look at you real strange

Me I like the N-word
I think it should be said more
and if you say it loud enough
It can rock them to the core

So next time they bother you
and you can't take it anymore
look them in the Eye and Say

    Surprise for sure, but then no ethnic group should have a stranglehold on the vocabulary.Good luck to us! When prejudiced and racist become the same!

    Wow. Well being from the dirty south my mind automatically went to a different N-word lol. It was a very nice build up and made me realize that people jump to conclusions pretty fast. It's never wrong to say "no" to someone. More people shouldn't be afraid to say this word. Nice write.
