She stood in my face
and called me Racist
Racist because I spoke my Heart
Racist because I dared to speak
the Truth about
The People

Racist
I thought about the word
what is Racist?

Is it Racist to tell the Truth?
Racist to bring the Truth into the light?

Racist
the word rolls around within me
Racist
not a word I had associated with myself

I speak for
The People
I tell the Truth
I try to walk with Honor
among those who have none

Racist
because I dare to bring
the darkness of 600 years
to light?

Racist because I want all to see
the hatred and the lies end?
Racist because I dare to say
you may be wrong?

Such a loaded word
Racist
reverse discrimination she said
reverse?

so what is wrong with bringing
Truth to light?
What is wrong with stating simple facts?
What is wrong with Truth?

Perhaps it is still
too early
for those who hold these lies ....
to see the error of
their ways
and the truths.....

too early to admit their wrongs
too early to go back with Honesty
and look
look at what is

Racist
the word haunts me
Racist
who is Racist?

Not I
