arm bars

an enduring weakness

extra training

We do perceive our enemies as foul

to stir the ire of citizens and friends

but we who vilify wear darker cowls

concealing truth to serve our personal ends.

For we have not the will to stand and speak

and see that those we hate are just as we

that all their human foibles make them weak

and prey to orator's hypocrisy.

The Russians love their children as before

while Israelites pile Palestinian dead;

the Sudanese are locked in civil war

Americans like lambs to slaughter led.

 JKR regrets lack of transition

 and demonises those who have conviction.
