I Spied

I Spied:
Why Do I
Hate The Word Nigger?
Perhaps I Figure
Nigger 
Pulls The Trigger
That Makes Us Get No Bigger
Than We Are,
Reach For Our Stars,
Secures A Black Man
Home Behind Bars.
'Cause The White Man
That Resides
Inside The Eyes
Of The Nigger Man
Snatches Up The Little Hand
Of The Black Boy,
Steals His Joy,
Saying That,
He Can Only Shoot Hoops
While He Loop De Loops
The Noose.
...But Not The Black Man:
He Is Bigger
Than The Nigger Man.
He Ain't Hidin'
His Head In Hands.
He's Providin' 
For His Fam',
Bread In Hand.
He Need Not Take Up Arms,
Inflict Harm
To A Woman Or Man,
To Show And Prove
He's Got Nothin' To Lose
To Demand That He's A Man.
I Spied: Why Do I
Hate The Word Nigger?
Perhaps I Figure,
Nigger 
Is That Golddigger
Who Gets Dissed And Dismissed
Instead of Kissed and Caressed.
Insures A  Black Woman
'More Than Often
A Too Soon Slumber
In A Coffin
Six Feet Under. 
'Cause The White Man
That Resides
Inside The Eyes
Of The Nigger Woman
Snatches Up The Little Hand
Of The Black Girl,
Decides Her World,
Saying That
She Can Only Shoop-Shoop
While He Loop De Loops
The Noose.
...But Not The Black Woman
She Is Bigger
Than The Nigger Woman.
She Ain't Just Burfin' No Babies,
Her Head In Hands.
'Can't Call Her Lazy:
She's Providin' 
For Her Fam',
Bread In Hand.
She's Not Going Down South
For A Pipe In Her Mouth,
Needle In Her Arm,
Inflicting Harm
To Herself,
Anyone Else---
Woman Or Man,
To Show And Prove
She's Got Nothin' To Lose
To Demand That She's A Woman.
I Spied: Why Do I
Hate The Word Nigger?
A Word 
More Than Not, Heard:
Hot Hate,
Piping Plate
Served To Segregate
And Humiliate
My Human...
Exploding Cannon,
Shattering Capsule
Scattering Shrapnel:
History's Atrocities
Raining:
Bigotry,
Pain,
Shame and Blame...
I Spied: Why Do I Hate 
The Word Nigger?
I Am Not Censoring:
I Will Not Relent!
I Am Rendering
A Portrait
On Your Porch Step
Of A Term Over Spent:
I Will Not Relent!
Nigger Is An Impediment.
I Will Not Relent!
Nigger Is Internment.
I Will Not Relent!
Nigger Is Not Meant
An Endearment.
I Will Not Relent!
Nigger-Will-Never-Be-President!
