Kind Words And Positive
Phrases
I met this dude from South Africa
Who had written a dictionary
Of only positive kind words,
He read something of mine
Said it was rude, too hard, perhaps
Even angry, maybe I should
Adopt some of his phrases,
I took a look at his book
Not wanting to hurt his feelings
For he seemed like a nice man,
How would you write what
I wrote using only your words
I asked him softly,
How would you write the history
Of South Africa or any nation
Using only kind words and positive
Phrases, what about the inquisition,
Slavery and countless other beauties
Performed by the human race.
