Hey Gang,

        Just some rustic ramblings for you to ponder.






                                PC Names or PC GAMES

Much is made of label and names,
By those who play PC games
You are disabled, not crippled
You are Black, not Negroe

The names used to designate
Are not meant to denigrate
You are gay, not queer or so its said
The name is the thing, don't be misled

But I am a man, a professor, a husband and father
Would calling me some name make me another.
I am a person, a human being
With all the warts and wonders for the seeing

The name you use to denote me
Is but a particle of who I be
So a rose by any other
Would smell like no other.

Geek, cripple, niggers are feeble terms
Thrown about by ignorant worms
They should not harm or even bend
The real live human within.
