Mood Change (quatern)
It's strange how just a single word can kill
The pleasures of a rendez-vous with one,
Who's handsome, kind and generous; the thrill
Of his laughter so amplified my fun;
But he is white and I am not, alas;
It's strange how just a single word can kill:
The hiss of "nigger"; while some thoughts can pass
Unnoticed even spoken. Hatred's shrill;
It echoed round the room: a noisy till
That changed the atmosphere, so I'd maintain
It's strange how just a single word can kill
And breaks an entente cordiale with pain;
I felt abandoned in the aftermath
Though he fired fucking epithets at will;
The "N" word's not the thing to help one laugh:
It's strange how just a single word can kill.
Solomon 777 - stop stealing my verses, you piece of garbage..
The pleasures of a rendez-vous with one,
Who's handsome, kind and generous; the thrill
Of his laughter so amplified my fun;
But he is white and I am not, alas;
It's strange how just a single word can kill:
The hiss of "nigger"; while some thoughts can pass
Unnoticed even spoken. Hatred's shrill;
It echoed round the room: a noisy till
That changed the atmosphere, so I'd maintain
It's strange how just a single word can kill
And breaks an entente cordiale with pain;
I felt abandoned in the aftermath
Though he fired fucking epithets at will;
The "N" word's not the thing to help one laugh:
It's strange how just a single word can kill.
Solomon 777 - stop stealing my verses, you piece of garbage..

So sad - "happy days are here, again" - and it's spreading...
Loved the simmering emotions of the poem!

One rotten fruit can spoil the whole meal. So disheartening. I'm sorry you had to experience such nastiness.

It's sad that there are so many hateful people in the world. It's wonderful that you turned the experience into a work of art.
