The Colour Orange  (Haikus 7.0)

 

(i) Teaching

Fuck sectarianism
Raised as a child taught to hate
Fuck that bigotry

(ii) Blasphemy

Hating Catholics
Righteous in the eyes of God
So say scriptures

(iii) Reason

Taught to play the flute
Age seven: Songs are hate filled
hate for no reason

(iv) UVF

Sectarian childhood
Celebrating terrorists
Dead hero worship

(v) Hymn

Red hand of Ulster
no surrender no retreat
hate monger's Hymn

(vi) KKK

Orange Men march on
It's the Scottish Klu Klux Klan
It's white against white

(vii) 1690

The Orange Order
Teaching kids: Hate Catholics
since sixteen ninety
