Its Still Around

It was either that, that, or that
So take that
Those people are always
Doing this or that.

Why don't they go back
Where they came from
Funny I always wondered
Who was them, those and they.

They are not from around here
Hey You!
Why don't you speak English
You're in America now
The land of the free.

Free from whom?
The native american
Are kept separated, in reservations
What we call americans
Are from all over the world.

Yet the only ones accepted
Seem to be those
Of fair complexion
Who love to spend
Lots of personal time
Sunbathing
Must be cool or a fad
To look "Dark"

Say cuz!
What's your name?
"Jose"
Yeah whatever,
Where You From "Chico"
Puerto Rico
Yeah? Some of my best friends
Are Puert Ricans.

Shhhhhh!
Someone whispered
Here comes that drunk Patrick
Ignore him, someone else said
Those people are always drunk.

Several friends gathered
At a party
It was jammed packed
Where is that little prick tiny?
Tiny is well liked
Within his social circle
Some ass whipe said
"Too bad he's A Midget"

Ain't that abitch!
Freaking Johnson
Got promoted to sergeant
Well what do you expect?
She's a woman
Its all about that equal opportunity crap.

Yeah, I don't care what you say Pal
"Its Still Around"
And its not going anywhere
Anytime soon.

a true and unfortunate illustration of our society today...for all the good that has been done, bigotry still lurks, spreading its poison. Excellent write my friend.

afraid you're right William, in my book i covered bigotry in the ranks, the guys had a problem when all the short women started showing up, even though the department was forced to do away with height restrictions out in the field the domino effect was slow, some of them had a problem with the midget guys, it's a crazy world, the racism thing was pretty bad also from both sides. This one officer use to always call me boy when i was a rookie, then one day he stopped after i proved to him that i was just as good man and officer as he was

When mankind began, whenever?
It's always been us, them, those,
and them others..
Native Americans really got the
short stick.
Enjoyed this about them their
and all the mixed up humans....

Bias will always be with us for we are reared with the talk all around us of our differences and who is better than whom etc. It's like you say William point blank, it is still with us. But it does come from each of us, not just one group and that is what we have to understand, if we're ever going to stop prejudice! Excellent write!

Eileen

Good write, William. Too much labeling going on in these days; it won't be long before the 3-digit number raises its ugly head so we can be counted.

Why don't they go back
Where they came from
Funny I always wondered
Who was them, those and they.

I still wonder - and if all of us, including them, those, and they all went back where we came from - only the Native Americans would be left here.
