trash talk, tough, ugly, opinion, galvanize,outre,leer,staunch,grid,murky, repair, fist bump
lovely party
lovely people
refugees
young and old across the grid
galvanized to repair to tolerate
and accept cultural differences
all staunch decent folk
in need of a fresh start
a new home
no tough ugly trash talk
no outre opinions voiced
no murky creepy leering
just everyone having a good time
cool
they deserve a chance
sadly
despite the fist bumping
and the banners
the truth is:
the lip servers
the many
opposed to this concept in theory
in reality
have practised it
since time immemorial
blame the fall
blame the popular prejudices of the day
blame whatever
tis unlikely to change anytime soon
on the farm
in the jungle
anywhere
and so it goes
and so it goes

Agreed!
ReplyDeleteSadly the truth of the times
ReplyDeleteEven humans are not equal and we are determined to keep it that way. Perhaps being humane and human are no longer similar!
ReplyDeleteDespite all the lies and blaming others in the world, truth somehow manages to prevail.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it goes.....in North America, we have two elections coming up, north and south, with right wingers gaining power steadily. Gah!
ReplyDeleteIt seems the truth, like the proverbial elephant, looks different from different perspectives. It's hard to see the systems of privilege when they have--when they seem to have--kept (some of us) us safe for so long. "and so it goes." Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it goes...
ReplyDeleteIt is often easier to hide behind the "othering" of others to preserve the illusions of safety. Your words are deeply felt.
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder why that Orwell quote is still true - what have we learnt? Nothing, apparently!
ReplyDeleteAnd history repeats itself.
ReplyDeleteA sad truth.
