Double Dutch


A Poem by alternative_be

A rant about prejudice and racism

Double Dutch
 
My love speaks Dutch as Dutchmen do
I speak Dutch as the Flemish do
 
Together we became one
Along the meandering path, we strolled together
Now, I am able to speak Dutch as Dutchmen too
 
What is it to you bigots?
I like speaking Dutch as Dutchmen do
I do not need subtitles, some Flemish pretend
They really do
 
Hate all people that do not speak Flemish
The way they do
Cultivate gibberish dialects
Leaving all others puzzled
People do need subtitles
 
Deciphering their near to foreign accent
Pretending that their dialect
Equals any top intermediate language
Sometimes they take pride in being called ‘Texans of Europe’
Well … ‘Rednecks of Belgium’
You might be surprised
What people really think of … YOU!

Author's Note

I do not want ratimgs for a change.
I needed to rant to keep my sanity.
Do tell me what you think!

:)

Ranting is the best part of writing :) Some of my short stories are rants as well.

It is a well proven message nonetheless, and it is, in a way, supposed to open the eyes of those being ranted on.

To no longer hate, but to understand, and be open.

Well established message.

I love this piece :)
