the extreme rapist
a Russian madman
killed sixty

the extreme serial killer
Dr. Harold Shipman
murdered three hundred fifty

the extreme racist
genocides
five hundred people dead
for each one victim
of Dr. Harold Shipman

that's all the souls you love
everyone you've ever met

think their faces now
family
people you chat
every glanced stranger

all of them
dead
skin awful white bloodlessness
life ripped

that dread vision is where the racist goes
when some big history incites his blind
he dare not civilise his difference terror
allow sane life to those he fears betters

Serbian Herzegovina
Hutu Burundi
De Montford's England

we all have fear of strangers
fear needs courage for control

so how can you not detest
lord pisswater's clarion
for reciting that howling bigotry
at fallen down outsiders

and how can you respect a nationalist
who daren't comprehend his murder in belief
the murder that's always seen
when his howling fuckalikes
steal the power of state

we know
lord pisswater's grandfather
sucked the cock of hitler
but why does this modern fool
suck the cock of hitler's corpse
