For the assignment we were to create a character in the prologue to Chaucer's Canterbury Tales that represents a part of society. I wish you could see the picture; I drew a monkey in a Klansmen outfit. The following lines are in iambic pentameter, which made them a pain to write.

The Bigot proudly walks in our line next
It's by people diff'rent that he is vexed.
Noose in hand, hiding behind a white hood,
Some flaw makes him think he is doing good.
The Bigot is stuck clinging to the past,
To ideas that weren't supposed to last.
His belief that he is better is staid
But deep in his heart he is really afraid.
He displays this by projecting his hate
Visible in his strict goose-stepping gait.
But his hate is a hard fire to kindle
As he watches his supporters dwindle.
Worshipping Christ and being straight and white
Is the only way, to him, to live right.
He fixes his deepest hatred and scorn
On those who didn't choose how they were born.
So I have to wonder exactly when
He first thought these others weren't really men.
He says they're lower, animals at least,
Which begs the question: which is the real beast?
