White Supremacist Terror

 

White Supremacist Terror

 

I

There is blindness in the country of light
Where the cataracts of conspiracy
Allow only fear and mistrust
To darken the eyes of many 

II

Birds of sky
Beasts of field
All nameless and wild
Until they were brought 
Before Adam 
Who was given, as we are,
The task of naming 

There can be no forgiveness
Without naming the error

white
supremacist
terror
 

Name it and say it

white
supremacist
terror
 

III

The eagle’s wing is broken
Flightless upon the rotten oak
The bison lays bleeding
Bitten by the fox
Tornadoes on the prairie
Wildfire in the forest 

There can be no healing
Without naming the ailment 

IV

Empires fall 
They always do
But I’ll be holding you
In the diminishing
