a divided man
split
and split again

all his shame hidden in the divide

the divide
that divides
him from you

no sense of love in the ownership-head
a love-less seed
leading to all kinds of horror

racism, and the rest

' send them all away!' he cries into his drink
' it is my land! My place! All mine! Allofit!'

the divided man is a scared man, alone
too frightened to embrace new people, places and things
a loveless
a life with fear

what have you done to deserve this i wonder?

A childhood of nightmares, of blame

years of terror
and for what?

What a heavy-weight,
to carry
all that blame casting
years of hidden shame

get out of my city! He manipulates
he cries
tears into his top-up pint

and I think 'damn, there goes another good man'
and 'fuck off ' at the same time
to the divide within the child.
