a xenophobic cancer

far more than isolationist
or even mere racism
a virulent strain of poison
exposed in the body politic
a heavy-handed stirring
of the divisions of our nation
a xenophobic cancer being fed
being nurtured in the maelstrom
the time of reckoning will come
when the monster has reached full flower
the reaping of the whirlwind
fed in the vitriol, their language
written on the ether,
floating in the air
