Is that everybody knows it
Everybody feels it
Everybody talks it
The feelings are mutual
Distrust, fear, hate
A bristling, crackling, burning
Whip, whiplash, tarring
With discontent and anger
With jealousy and rage
Quiet or noisy
Demonstrated or secret
Found terms of inner terror
Shared with family and friends
Found on Facebook
Proudly photographed
Communities of hate
Communities of fear
What do they have waiting?
What's in store?
What's more of the same
in a place where war
and communal strife
were models of governance?
Where do you go
when the person down the road
or on your bus
or in your bank
Is armed, psychologically
Ready to go off
And with full approbation
From the people in their street?
