Poem- “Calling People Names Again”

“Calling People Names Again”

Let me call people names I know are true.

“Human.”

Can I call people human?

Is that wrong?

Or, how about this one:

“Ladies and gentlemen.”

Oh, I’m sorry to annoy you.

I’m sure people like you are busy.

Let me call people names I know are true.

For example, “Creatures on Earth.”

I know some guys will get angry about this.

Names like “human” and “creatures” are too much for the public.

How about this:

“Citizens of Earth.”

Or:

“People around the world.”

Or, even this:

“Earth.”

I am so sorry to mention your names.

Sorry, Billy.

Sorry, Mary.

Sorry, Fred.

Sorry, Tara.

Please keep your hands and feet to yourself.

I’ll forget your names and walk away.

Let me call people names I know are true.

Oh, the humanity!

You don’t want to be anything!

You’re not anyone!

Human, Earth, “our home planet”, animals, people, Earth-

I will forget your names and never call them.

Fools!
