Everyone Has A First Name And A Last Name

Everyone has a first name and a last name But I won't call you something that brings you shame. I will not call you by your color I will not you by your ethnicity I will not call you by your odor I will not call you by your nationality. Everyone has a nickname or a street name But I won't call you something that brings you blame. I will not call your by the way you walk I will not call you by your association I will not call you by the way you talk I will not call you by your connection. Some people have a surname or a middle name Some people have a baby name or a game name. I will call you sir or Mr., if I forget your name I will call you Miss. or Ms., if I forget your name I will call you Mrs. or Madam, if I forget your name But I won't call you a name that brings you shame. Everyone has a night name or a school name But I won't call you something that brings you blame. I will call you by your elected position that you've earned I will call you: president, senator, mayor and congressman I'll call you: Pope, governor, sheriff, pastor and congresswoman I'll respect you and call you by proper names that I've learned. Everyone has a first name and a last name But I won't call you something that brings you shame. Copyright © March 2020, Hébert Logerie, All rights reserved.
