racism stalks streets,
flowing with blood,
red blood.
not black, white, saffron, green, yellow,
but,
red blood,
like the colourless tears that stream,
down faces of all hues,
&
of every shade,
human beings all,
just humans,
who into dust or ashes do fade.
racism on the prowl,
deafening,
virulent ignorance,
embraced by those who hate,
seeping out of diseased tongues that bray & howl,
while,
humanitys’ corpse,
lies in state.
racism is binary,
soul-less,
with just a single choice to make,
so think carefully now, o’ patient reader,
cos’ racism is binary,
soul-less,
& there is only one choice that is right …
… the dazzling fusion of a rainbow,
or dull,
bland,
empty white.

thank you and yes, be it in Ferguson, USA or Cape Town, RSA the the scourge of racism, casteism, sexism, intolerance, bigotry, GBV, notions of cultural, tribal, nationalistic, religious superiority, the struggle continues for a more humane world where deeds, actions, day-to-day doings, and recognising that as our philosophy of uBuntu teaches us – I am because we are. Warmest wishes and salaam to all at home
