Racial Slur

On patrol
I separated
2 parties
Who were 
Engaged
In a verbal
Altercation.

Words were
Exchanged
In the end
Racial Slurs
Escalated 
The situation 

Why is 
It
Do 
We as humans
Find
It necessary
To 
carry 
Ethnocentric 
Viruses 
Within
Our
Soul?

So destructive 

A physically 
Beautiful woman
Transformed
Into 
the purest form
Of ugliness
By the words
She chose
To express

There is no
Coming back
From
This.....

No expert
makeup artist
Can paint over
The
Deformity
Called
Hate
It is like 
a plague
That cannot
Be removed

A true 
Travicity 
Like a smell
Of a skunk
on a fine
Garment
The stink 
Never leaves
