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,
and
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,
and there is only one choice that is right …
… the dazzling fusion of a rainbow,
or dull,
bland,
empty white.

I agree my friend.”racism is binary,

Your words couldn’t be more apt and poignant than this day, this week, this month when every
possible racist word, action & suggestion has come to a head around the world! My mind goes directly to Geert Wilders islamophobic mania. However, the silver lining for me is Arnold van Doorn’s ( a former member of the pv v political circus and right hand man to Wilders )conversion to Islam & as importantly his wanting to build bridges between all faiths, races, colours and creed

so very true … in this world of growing Islamophobia and intolerance of immigrants we the ‘saner’ ones need to make our voices heard louder than ever. Geert Wilders is a sick symptom of a deeper problem and unless we tackle the fascist within us we shall never overcome the hate. Thank you for your eloquent and heartfelt and profound words. Salaams to all at home. Your quite-old friend ✌
