Tiger's Bite
How can a word be so fierce?
Imagine a word
Where you can take it
And make it hateful.
This is not to be
Confused with evil.
But this word, pregnant
With centuries worth
Of meaning that still
Rankles people of
Different colors and
Races, is still in
Usage. Now, some folks
Say that the word ought
To be banned outright.
Others contend that
It be modified
So that the word can
Be changed somehow to
Soften its strong blow.
The fact remains. It
Is a word that ought
To be used by each
Hue in the human
Race. It ought not be
Buried in a grave
Of lexical rest.
It ought to be shown
As a harsh statement
Of brutality
And a reminder
Of how force can be
Employed by some of
The human race but
Not others who speak
The word. These vicious
Activities ought
To end. Whenever
Someone mouths the word,
Let there be a sharp
“-er” at the end
That’s as fierce as a
Full-grown tiger's bite.
