People Suck in General (Warning: This poem contains the N-word)

People Suck in General

The predjudice of times much older...
Portrait of a dying soldier
stationed on a dying ember
losing breath in late December
Captivating memories --
The slaughter of the Lebanese,
the Chinese and the Japanese,
The Natives and the Negros...
whichever witch we choose to burn
all justified by holy words

The predjudice which lingers still...
Jack must always marry Jill
not Ron not Jake
not Steve not Phil --
Meanwhile "fat and ugly" Jill
akin to eating supper --
rubs against the rubber
trapped inside her swollen lips
while gagging on her fingertips
But in the end --
It's all the nigger's fault anyways.
-Shabooki Skittles

It had a definite flow to it that's for sure. I liked the first stanza more, just because it had a more concrete point. But the abstractness of the second one was good in it's own way. I have no real criticisms though. Good job.
