Fear Theme

Of the other - why keep it undercover? The people grieve and suffer - it's deeper than the Government (Fear!) Of the tongues of our brothers We sweep them under rugs, into gutters Sky-scrapers to the slums and the suburbs Take it from the tongues of the unheard that Some words, when murmured, turn to fervour, turn to young murdered Once nurtured, hatred takes its acreage like a noxious weed Dropping seeds of grief until there's peaceful people knocking teeth As policy, we greet the lost-at-sea with boxes, locks, and keys And Manus stands a rocky monument to mob hypocrisy There's got to be some options worth adopting pre- eternal purgatory You've heard the story murmured by some learned Tory: "it's us or them!"
