Bigotry is Binary …



Instilling fear,
sowing terror,
masked bigots seeking to silence us all.


Injecting prejudice,
fomenting discord,
crass politicians tearing at us until we fall.


Celebrating bigotry,
entrenching hate,

schizophrenic fascism gestates,

sinking fanatical talons into diseased thoughts,

feeding the beasts of divisiveness,
sowing racism,

as the doctrine of superiority mutates.


Bigotry is binary,

there are no shades of grey, no colours of the rainbow humans may behold today.


Bigotry is binary,

you’re either white or not right,

my religion is superior, yours is a blight,

my country right or wrong,

your culture inferior, mine bright, a shining beacon of pristine light.


All these many heads of the hydra,

from dinner tables to corridors of power afar,

spawning monsters reared to prey,


while bigots of all shades,

spew hate,

as they, their very own humanity slay.
