The Industry of Hate ‘Gone’ Away

 

     I wish for a cappella music to accompany

a teal green sea,

   an azure horizon and golden dusk,

 

     I hope for a family strong

in tolerance yet feint of rewards,

   rewards that understands more than

fair share of brutal has befallen they.

 

     My goal is a personal homage

to perhaps an ancient Greek, a Hypocrates

   whom still holds allegiance by those the wallet

has no meaning of, no substance, virtue or need -

       and only their look of contempt at constance of harassment.

 

     If wit be a wonder to see a smile break

a solemn face then, an accompaniment of an away

day, an away month or year to paradise on Earth

          might just cure the leper and suicide.

 

     Men and Women, our Children too - all

bearing scars of subliminal war, have a right,

   more than right, a claim to bring back the Good.

 

       Now, there is nothing but a despondent stare and glare

from a heaven that once bestowed a gift of life to all,

    but tainted our hidden hands have made of every

best intention and placed within our arms not a babe but,

   Gun,

 

     …….. I need to let all know that a question

                                    needs to be heard by all who run theatres of hate,

 

          ‘in your authority, are you really going to trust those

       who rebel against being forced to kill?’
