In the not-so-distant past civil society
expressed their private thoughts covertly
in no one's hearing fearing lest they be
condemned for the bigoted tenor of a
flaming hatred for all that they were not.
All that has changed immeasurably with
the advent of instant communication; now
a vast network of others just like themselves
spurning be-and-let-live social mores of a
civilized world, comforted that an audience
of like-thinkers applaud and savour such
expressions of rancid venom condemning
their targets with cultural, heritage and
religious explosives of hateful language.
The massive advance in human contact
through instant, far-reaching communication
has expunged the conscience, incited the
beast in huge segments of the population
to become an unquenchable hydra of many
voices all snarling the toxin of racist bigotry.
