Xenophobia

Mixed Marriage

Bred in the bone
Of every man
Is fear of the stranger
Love the clan!

The battle cry has always been
Screw their women
Kill the men!

By choosing a man with a stranger’s face
You castrate your entire race
You say, in effect, for all to see
That none of your kind are as good as he
And raise a primal rage.

And what of Him?
The same applies
He’s saying in another guise
His women can’t compare with you
They’ll  say he’s invoking the ancient rule
Which turns the insult back to you.

So follow your hearts
If needs you must
Do whatever you must
But  understand  and don’t resent
The faces turned away from you
When  neither clan  will rest content
With the mortal insult you present.
