You don't know me
you know the single story told
the clone of distortion and misrepresentation
the single fabricated story
aimed at all the latent prejudices going
challenging, blindsiding and brainwashing you
the single story that nails hatred in your minds
of someone you don't know
other than how he was misrepresented to you
the single story that talks of greed
rather than the truth of an honest decent hardworking man
the single story
that missed out the envy and jealousy of racist criminals
who were so pained to see a lovely peaceful decent couple
living a happy wholesome life
the racists who saw a lovely flat and later described it as a palace
with hidden treasures
the single story that left out how they started bullying
and doing all kinds of racist passive aggressive ploys to intimidate
the single story that left out twice breaking into their flats
the single story that left out trying to offer ****** favours
in return for more gifts and money
the single story that omitted how hell hath no fury than a woman spurned
the single story that fabricated the one who thinks he's better than us, that fabricated 'the big I am' 'the pompous toff'
all absolutely untrue
the single story that whipped up general hatred, played on fears
and prejudices, broke up a loving relationship and a happy home
ruined careers and turned diligence, hard work and aspiration
into greed
the single story that makes fools of believers
proving that people will always believe what they want to beleive
regardless of the truth
the well crafted single story laced with poison and bile
cooked in malicious dripping evil in slanderous iced pure lies
as befitting professional racist criminals
with all to hide
and guilt, shame, disgrace and ignominy
seeping through every pore
