Anti Semite! Anti Semite! Anti Semite!

The trouble with continually crying wolf

is that you end up being trampled

by the herd of elephants in the room,

you for too long ignored

and who will make of you an example;

like it or not, I’m a poet,

whether a good one

or a bad one’s

for you to decide;

but if there’s a line,

my task’s not to toe it,

but to write it,

to tell it out loud,

tell the truth ...
