Home You Bastards

Home You Bastards

Are we the same species living
flaming bright but for a moment
weeping laughing in our turn
before the altars now and ancient

and frightened of frigid border
breaking glass covering our fear
we shouted with a rabble rousing
home you bastards you're unwelcome here

yes we once the strangers cowed
now cover the ears of children
in case they believe such evil dwells
in parks in temples in civic building
