Fermented in Hate and Fear
we are taught to hate
those who impede
and those who violate
we are fed our feed lines
yet their narrative leaves us blind
all hate as told,
is based upon pre conceptions
that misdirection’s of the truth
we are taught to fear
whilst we clutch cracked clay bowls
we run around gated fields
like petulant foals
we are conditioned,
we are fermented in hate and fear
there are barrels of laughter
but plenty of tears
we are a society,
that is fermented in hate and fear
James Garratt – December 2015
