    It is all the vain hate in the world
    All of the beatings
    All of the rapes
    And all of the murders
    It is all of the wars
    And all of the bombs dropped
    All of the children with half-burnt faces
    And deformed baby brothers and sisters
    With a life of fearful, curious eyes to expect
    It is all of the mindless violence of the world
    It is NOT just a word

    Welcome back :)

    It is a good poem, for what it is: a statement on the flippant use of a very derogatory word.
    It's a little bit too simplistic for my tastes, but I'm guessing it was written that way by design.

    I'm asuming from the OP's comment in #2, "from the net", that it wasn't written by the OP.

    How is it all the bombs dropped? That line makes a mockery of an otherwise decent effort.

    Alll the bombs refers to Vietnam I'd say.
    The N word was applied to all outsiders at different times in history.
