I am xenophobic, to a huge degree
towards people who can't treat others with equality.
In so many countries justice does not exist,
so many killed and scarred when they try to resist.
Laws are made and dispensed by a despot's guards,
using force and pressure without little regard.
So many people bleed under ausperity's cloud,
as yesterday's whims become tomorrow's shroud.
Insecurities many, as opaque eyes stare
and I feel so vexed when I see such despair.
As each night draws so many into the unknown,
will pure red blood on evil's hands ever atone?
I pray for that quintessential world of peace,
this, my eulogy for war zones to cease.
What will happen I wonder in the years to come,
will midnight's darkness become midday's warm sun?
