Toxicity

Toxicity
Is in your mind infected
From the slurs and salutations
Of those in power
Infected too from the innocuous and those
Ill-inoculated as well
From the beautiful and brightly coloured
Poison custom made and hand delivered
Poison gift wrapped and pleasing
Is in your mind infecting
Toxic drift come pouring out of dreams
Words and beauty
Like waves from the oceans
Sweetly as the hypocrisy of priests
Infected and directed
Against you
Imprisoned also
By the garrison desire
Empathy and vibrations
Toxicity in the gutters
Racing along veins
In thoughts and embraces
Of them that hold us down
Tying us bright light blinding
In your mind infected
Toxicity
