Howls, 2005
for one nation / for one colour / for one way of life
to tell another that they’re not worthy of—
and to sit back and say that prejudice is justified
and painful discrimination will be a way of life—
that is for that nation / colour / creed / to lose
all credibility as a voice that should be heard—
a voice which says it speaks in the name of freedom
and humanity when in truth it speaks only
out of narrow self-interest
