White (55 of 365)

Day 55 of the 366 day poem challenge.

Word of the day jingoist meaning: "Jingoism is an extreme form of patriotism that often calls for violence towards foreigners and foreign countries. Patriotism — a love for one's country — can, in certain cases, turn nasty and go beyond wishing for the welfare of one's own homeland."

White 

This is the jumping off point

The last fact to drop

Your inequality is my joy

Your failures are my success

I am a jingoist 

My contempt is invisible

But carries its name in my thick 

Expensive boots

This is my rebellion to grasp

Onto the unloose-able

To strangle strength from weakness

The bitterness in my chest

Is the thought of equilibrium

The scales must remain as 

They are and I am on the top of

The see-saw and my language is 

The only language

My words are your words now

My world is the only world

There is no other possibility

You are trapped

You are a caged animal in my zoo

Safe and behind bars

You emit a stench 

I turn my nose at you

I turn my eyes away from you

I turn my ears away from you

You are scum

Give me your money

Give me your soul

Let me have your heart

Let me eat your food

Let me consume you 

Let me never understand you

You shall be mute 

Eternity is mine

Religion is mine

The only God is my god

Worship me 

The law is mine and its word is 

My word 

Welcome to hell 

Welcome to denigration and vilification

Welcome to denial 

You are an alien

I am a parasite 

There is no charity but you will never see

You will never see my invisible contempt

You will never know me

You will never understand me

You stand in your ghetto and

I'll stand in mine.
