Two poems

These came to me as I was lying half-awake at 3am today.

I'm Safe

I lie, head covered
To protect me from the
The Bogey Man.
I fall asleep, wake
Oh no! An arm is out!
Look up, relax, it's daylight
Through the curtains,
I'm safe.


Die!

Go back to where you came from!
Die!
You're not like me
Snowflake, Commie, Queer,
Die!
The hatred flows, how to stop it?
Report to Facebook, Twitter?
They do nothing, the answer's
Simple if only you would see.
Stop, think before you press send
Be kind.
