“Intolerance” by Joaquin Abella
you squirm with the worms
in your cankerous
craters of ignorance
deep in its damps
where sunlight can’t cleanse
your arbitrary filth
yet somehow you thrive
with your burgeon
of slithering isms
you now and then scrabble
up and over the rim
don your sheets
mount your dragon
and visit our civilized
precincts to peddle
more unctuous bilge
until someone like me
kicks your pustulant ass
back down that black hole
where your mortified
parents abandoned you
From my book Bullets from Bones
Poesy plus Polemics 
Whoa, powerful

Unfortunately, a disease for the small minded that seems to have no cure.

if it can’t have a cure, it should at least have a belligerent opposition

Quite the very best thing I’ve read since God knows when. If I could steal just one of your poems and make it mine, this would be it, Paul

A social virus learnt in childhood at our parents’s knees and taught our children without a reader: grace reveals itself in the eyes; hate hides right under the skin . . .

bigots no doubt breed bigots – but I’ve seen it spring from other sources, too – either way, an abomination

I apologize if it came off crude

I don’t think you could ever be crude, Paul. I admire your ability to use language as a beautiful and sharp sword to point out the evils of bigotry.

“Unctuous bilge” is brilliant. Your revulsion comes through like a freight train. Amazing wordcraft.
