Smart Cookie

Is it because of my
tough and bittersweet
exterior which protects
my dignity so effectively?

Perhaps you're impressed
by my flexible mind and
sweetest of souls which
reside deep inside my body.

I know you meant this
as a compliment because
you claim you're not racist.

Only ignorant people
who impose their perceived
superiority on others
in order to compensate
for their own insecurities
cling to bigotry.

So, I really hope you
meant your Oreo remark
as a compliment because,
otherwise you'd be
insulting yourself.
