the white-washed name









hey dudes,
no matter what you say,
what you do, your feeling
lies hidden in the words
you choose to use;

you painted the building
white to lay bare your
ruthless supremacy, and yet
you thought you could so simply
white-wash the truth;

is it really that quiet and easy,
the polarised you can hardly hide
behind the talkative democracy;


the colorful flowers,

the poppies and the pansies
also adorn your garden,
they too enrich your heaven
but painting the walls thus
you left them
all at once

permanently out, as those
unfortunate poor cousins

words matter, names matter
because they reveal to the world
what you really think, delve
deep my friends, you'd rather
find the gap, the missing link  


Influenced by Abraham Lincoln
