Melanophobia Poem by John Sensele

Melanophobia rears its ugly spears and steers seas of tears
When it enjoins campaigns to put melanin free souls to death
Due to myths and untruths that trade and spread fears
Among albinos whose only sin is to be born from parents with a dearth
That grants them recessive genes which translate into births of offspring
Without melanin resulting in skin and eyes as normal as any
But very sensitive to sunlight which subjects albinos to a string
Of irritations and inconveniences when in many
Instances the balance of nature misleads wizards and witches
Into promoting a rote vote in favour of blatant bland lies
That body parts from melanin free victims used as ingredient switches
Can cure diseases such as Aids and turn murderers and their spies
Into tycoons overnight. No such truth exists and albinos deserve
A normal life free from harassment in communities where they serve.
