Liquid fire,
Division.
Removing fear,
By inflicting it.
Eradicating difference,
Hunting it blindly.
The pain of the innocent
Becomes the defence of the guilty -
Fear-borne hatred,
Ignorance.
Home;
Turned into a battleground.
Brother against brother,
Separated by the pallor of their skin,
the tune of their voices,
their clothing;
now an abomination.
The troubled youths,
Once pure,
Tremble with anger,
Throwing their fury,
Scarring,
Burning;
Marking.
Disfiguring one another
From borough to borough.
From thriving teens,
To brainwashed soldiers,
Fighting a war,
Unseen,
Misunderstood -
Undeserved.
Not just for the victims,
But for those unlucky enough
To incite the pain.
Blind.
Fire in their eyes,
Engulfing them.
Washes them with grief-stricken violence,
Unadulterated,
Blaming.
They point their fingers and cower,
A provincial hand blocking their sight,
Shielding them from
The truth.
