Xenophobia Poem by Matthew Holloway

A hatred without true reason
Fed my media outlet
Or politicians playing for power
Feeding on the fear
Or paranoia of the people
The hard times used, abused
Claiming modern struggles
Are the fault of people not politicians
The result of immigration
Not failed legislation
The policies of a few idiots
Put in place for millions of lives
That did not work, not even slightly
Brings about this game of
Cat and mouse, deception
The blame game, playing out
On news and media outlets
Deceiving so many
I'm saddened and sickened
In equal measure
A time has come to wake up
make a stand against it all
Love must raise and hatred fall
