a choke hold
narrowing the mind
who do you make yourself
from the one bone to fetch?
you could call it a law
false equivalence
how fair our pictured past?
keep asking
who’s catching by the toe?
who squeals?
eeny meanie
everyone’s equal
past is all behind
whistle me up some dinner
say boy
will you won’t – I’m all expectation
don’t disturb me now
all these crosses to burn
strange fruit
who with the shackles?
who with the whip?
who was the invader?
narrowing the airways
focuses attention
thins the skin
never fell far from the tree
chipped shoulder of the china shop
and play a harp to thee
who’s willing to compromise here?
see reason
be a real white man
can anyone hate?
just anyone?
a privilege?
decent treatment?
shall we rearrange the words?
sticks and stones have done it again
the names were egging on though
miney mo
maybe this one’s okay?
how much air do they really need?
some have lost the signal
forgotten fundamental facts
like how we’re here
who was before
how everybody came
keep asking
who’s got the guns?
safe behind the condo walls
or will it be the Alamo?
everyone wants to be whiter
pure as the driven
all things wise and wonderful
crack in the liberty bell
what was Davey Crockett king of?
got the guns with the sure-fire aim
serenity and rage
moments of awakening
always some sleep through
whole continents were not mislaid
nothing here and now
a statue conquest
like a clock that won’t tell time
them redskin varmints the volunteers tamed
why isn’t it called the National Handgun Association?
pretty little purse, cute gun
why do we talk the way we do?
a skin is a skin you’d think
keep asking
consider the shades of injustice
don’t we all breathe the same air?
one sea to swim, but some can’t
some folk choke on it
think of cosmetic change
keep on with shifting the goalposts
pulling the rug out from under
a can of worms for Christmas
which colour dreamiest
who’s asking?
how do we cause offence?
mainly it’s the sins of the fathers
visiting again
when you’ve had enough of the system
lash out
fresh questions!
do think there is such a place?
safe, where there isn’t any trouble?
special paint
just to get you in corners
… lovely pawprints out
