Don't Do Me Any Favours Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis

Rhyme Scheme: ABCDB EFBEB GHEFE EEBEI

Your imagination tells you that your race is superior to othersA
But in reality you re not better human beings than meB
All mortal men of dust should treat one another as equalsC
You think my life doesn t matter because I m a NegroD
So you abuse me and murder my children with impunityB
-
What kind of person doesn't regard some persons as human beingsE
The shade of my skin doesn t make me a lesser manF
Why does a white person have to stand up for meB
No thank you ma am or sir don t do me any favoursE
People who are prejudiced against me shouldn t vouch for meB
-
Hating someone who has done you a wrong is understandableG
But it s inexcusable to hate someone without justificationH
Your forefathers taught their offspring that Negroes were monkeysE
So you were reared with the misconception that I m not a manF
Imbeciles and ignorant people regard humans as wild animalsE
-
Bigots and racists you can go to hell with your pretenceE
You despise me so much because I m of a different raceE
And I abominate your intention to rob me of my dignityB
Shame on you for bringing obloquy on yourselvesE
Do yourselves a favour and cleanse your minds of racial hatredI
