“The Village”

“The Village”

Editor’s Note: Kerry Arquette’s book of poems, War Cries: Unheard Voices, Unmarked Graves is now available here.

“Sissy, Sissy,

Go away.

Don’t come back,

Another day.”

Vicious Children,

Stuck in time,

Taunting classmates

With cruel rhyme.

“Filthy, Faggot,

Stupid queer,

Kiss the boy,

You hold so dear.”

Bullies, Bullies,

Almost grown,

Hand still clutching

Stick and stone.

“Stinking, Pervert,

In our town.

Round him up,

To put him down.”

Loveless Soldiers

Made of tin,

Hearts attuned

To hatred’s din.

“Homo, Homo,

Marked with pink.

Die, and rid us

Of your stink.”

Nazi Killers

Spare the rod,

We are all…

The Sons of God.
