BLACK,LIVES MATTER EVERY DAY

I wrote this a few years ago
and it is as relevant this evening
as any other day. They say
‘Black lives matter’ and so
does every life and I make that
point with no intention of taking
anything away from the murder
of another black American.


Prejudice

Prejudice I hate you
subliminally or overtly

you subvert the reality
inventing the non-truth

cosseting it in your mind
nurturing it until it grows
into a monster

until it blows
all reason aside

you’re a head case
a slathering beast
emitting combinations
so debase
of opaque hatred
without cease

traipsing out of that
blinkered hole
of deceit

there is nothing recent
in your venom or decent

a descent into that blackness
where two worlds collide
you could hide
but there is
the hideousness

of anger exploding
telling a story
of misrepresentations of hate

a view of inner fury
where there can be no debate

Prejudice: fuels hate
