    A poem I wrote after helping to paint Taz's room, and finding a bottle of White Spirit. Still in its raw, unrevised stages, let me know what you think...

    White Spirit

    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed,
    Keep away from sources of ignition-
    It’s their fiction
    Through rose-tinted eyes
    And flowery diction.
    Scratch the surface,
    For thinning the mind,
    And White Spirit
    Don’t give sight to the blind.


    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed-
    Lies through letterboxes
    And posted propaganda;
    Men in suits,
    Still thugs
    In jackboots,
    Trading swastikas for
    Ballot boxes,
    One cross for another
    Like a wolf in a fleece.


    Fleece, fleeced for votes
    On moral panic massive
    To stir up the passive.
    Lock the doors,
    Throw away the key,
    ‘Ain’t nobody welcome
    If they don’t look like me!’
    White Spirit,
    Harmful if swallowed.
    White Pride,
    Deadly when followed.


    So keep close,
    To sources of ignition!

    I like it. Didn't know what you were talking about till near the end, but that's kind of a good thing, keeps you reading.
