White Supremacy Poem by Steve Wheeler

White Supremacy



Running through the city streets
Marching to the Nazi beat
Fists flailing kicking feet
Banners flying in the heat
Of white supremacy

Every slogan that they shout
Every slur that tumbles out
Leaves us all in little doubt
Their way of life is laced throughout
With white supremacy

See the mobs intent on killing
Inward looking, lager swilling
In horror watch as blood is spilling
Urban communities down-hilling
Through white supremacy

It needs no great intelligence
To see that we should take offence
As the actions of the malcontents
Cause mental scars of violence
Through white supremacy

The readers of the Daily Mail
With tongues that wag and fists that flail.
The hatred rising off the scale
Should tell us all from what we ail:
It's white supremacy
