IF 2018
IF YOU SEE RACISTS - WHEN THEY ARE JUST PEOPLE OF WHITE
IF YOU HIDE IN THE DARK - AFRAID OF THE LIGHT
IF YOU CALL OTHER NAMES - TO HIDE YOUR OWN FEARS
IF YOU RUN TO THE HILLS - RATHER THAN SHARE IDEAS
THEN YOU ARE DESTROYING THE WORLD
AND WHAT IS MORE - YOU ARE A CHILD - MY SON
This poem is dedicated to people like Owen Jones - they do not engage, discuss, debate and reason - they shout, sneer and abuse - they threaten, they encourage violence and they then blame those they disagree with for arguing back.
They are very clever, manipulative and deceitful.
The attack on the poem IF by Rudyard Kipling is a consequence of their behaviour and attitude.
WE ARE WALKING INTO THE ABYSS - IF WE DO NOT AT LEAST TRY TO DISCUSS OUR DIFFERENCES THEN I FEAR WE WILL DESCEND INTO MADNESS
