Boo

They've finally succeeded
by demonizing one side
(for the sake of a vote) 
and shackling your minds.
it took quite some time:
now you see ghosts
where there are none
you see racism
in every celebration
every holiday
every banner
every book
every toy
every park
every cartoon
every statue 
every sign...
With every 
perceived slight
you ignite. 
the ghosts
that go
boo! 
in your night.
