Listen Mr. He has written a rhythmical poem, with a lot of grammar errors. The way he has used so many grammar errors is demeaning. The way the rhythm is created is very interesting. He wants to be noticed and tell that he is dissatisfied.
This discrimination is shown with a comically tone. He describes his feelings violently. Words are his kind of weapons, but also his personal defense. The most important and notable thing are the power of language. He uses imagery to display that his words are just as dangerous as much as real weapons. But basically he is making fun of the English language. There is a kind of fight or battle between him and the English people. There is a kind of anger, but he shows it in a comical way. When you read the poem you can see right away that he is an immigrant.
In the poem Agard uses a lot of words that are connected to language as a system. He uses these aggressive words as a metaphor for how he is purposely speaking English grammatically wrong, and thinks it is okay to do so. As an immigrant he is probably tired of people making fun of him when he is not grammatically correct, so he decides that being an immigrant is nothing to be ashamed of.
He could also be using the violent words because he is angry and because people are not only making fun of immigrants but are also being physically violent against them. It is not a mistake, but a cleverly used tool Agard uses to make his point clear.
Agard is rebelling against "de Queen's English" p. As he mentions in his poem, he is himself an immigrant. Even though he is rebelling, he doesn't want it to end in violence.
But to make it clear that the poem is at rebellion, he uses a lot of aggressive words such as knife, dangerous and riot. He uses these words to threaten, but instead of threatening a single group or a single person, he threatens the English Language. The reason he is threatening the English language, is to say in a clever way "the pen is mightier than the sword". He knows that with violence or an actual rebellion, he would get thrown in jail, and then his point would not get out there.
