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
