My friend said something racist


My friend said something racist

I didn’t see it coming

He said it with a look

as if he thought I’d find it funny

 

Was it really racist?

It sounded quite disgusting

I thought him pretty cool before

Now I no longer trust him

 

Maybe he was only joking

Quoting someone else

Maybe he was smoking something

Not feeling himself

 

Maybe he was showing off

Perhaps he’s insecure

I’m trying to find excuses

For language that I abhor

 

If I told him what it sounded like

Maybe he’d regret it

My friend said something racist

And now I can’t forget it.
