(R) Word Showcase
This Is The Official R Word Showcase Poem in 2021 this poem is pleading to people that the R Word should not be used and does hurt.
If you can read our minds
I swear there’s a letter inside saying
I’m here,
stop stepping on me
like a foot rug wiping your feet
thinking I’m just a weakling, I’m just like you,
God, just put me on this earth with a little less umpth,
I can do all you can do,
If you just give me a chance
but, you never (ever)
gave me a chance, all I am is different than you
all I want is to be equal with you,
all I need is a friend like you but, you describe me
under a word, gave me my place mimic’ed I’m a Disgrace.
If my gang burns one word,
another word will soon creep upon us hurting us, putting us down,
making us feel like we are
ghosts, that God made a mistake
to just blow across the globe like a plastic bag with no hope trust me
there’s always going to be new words. burning one word will not help us
we need to show people
we are one of them,
by not separating or running away,
by doing everything they do but,
with a little dash of our way.
