I AM PREJUDICE

POEM

 

I AM PREJUDICE

I am prejudice

bigotry discrimination

I disseminate separatism

racism and scorn

blacks on the auction block

Jews burning in furnaces

slaughtered Armenians

a blood-bathed trail of tears

intolerance envelops me

like vermin to filth

maggots to carcasses

ants to fresh manure

hail my out pouring

 of hatred, repugnance

genocide, loathing

racial cleansing

massacres

from my alpha

to my omega

I’m in your schools

and your churches

permeating where you live

penetrating where you labor

breeding ugliness

like a mirror

bouncing images

for the eyes

in the hearts

upon the brain

in the guts

of every man

every woman

every born

and unborn child

in

black and white

red and yellow

endless shades

of bronze and brown

bigotry shrouds

contempt besieges

hatred festers

genocide kills

I am prejudice

bigotry discrimination

I disseminate separatism

racism and scorn
