Shocking

Shockingly the newspapers tell
about the events in the house at the corner,
where nobody could stop black criminals
to violate, rape and kill a white woman,

the story is kept away from television-news,
it is far too crude for the public to view,
where a broomstick was driven into her female parts,
where she lies with legs apart, with her hands clenched together

and her lovely body is covered in blood,
she lies nakedly
with perfect round DD-breasts
and everywhere there’s blood

and the point of the broom had been sharpened before the attack
and this scene of black violence, make me want to vomit.
