   Underbelly
At last there is release:
The freedom to hate
Those you dislike.
And now the thrill
Of saying it out loud.

We hear refrains of
Distrust and suspicion
Of fighting your enemies
And regaining control.

At last you are free to
Tell lies you don’t believe
But pretend they’re true and
Push your way into power.

At last you are free to detest
Your neighbours and their friends.
The veneer has fallen and
The ugly underbelly
Comes into view.
