Loved this collab. Great experience with such a talented poet.

This hits like a Mack truck!

This poem feels like a fierce, unfiltered look at how easily people turn “them” into something less than human.

The language is intentionally sharp, almost abrasive, because the subject itself is uncomfortable.

I like how both voices call out the hypocrisy of those who claim purity while causing the very harm they condemn.

The imagery of parasites, poxes, and overloaded goats shows how cruelty gets dressed up as righteousness.

There’s a painful honesty in admitting that many who judge were once no different from the judged.

The second voice digs deeper into how fear and delusion twist people into tools for someone else’s power.

Lines about disappearing citizens and manufactured enemies feel disturbingly close to reality.

The poem doesn’t shy away from showing how mobs feed on fear and how authority decays from within.

By the end, the “bones picked clean” image lands like a final warning about what hatred leaves behind.

It’s a harsh piece, but it forces you to look directly at the cost of turning people into symbols instead of humans.

This is very good. Excellent collaboration

This is sharp, witty. It brings to mind a quote from Arthur Miller's The Crucible

"Are the accusers always holy now? Were they born this morning as pure as God's fingers?"

Great collab! This was great!

Both of you did such a phenomenal job. Painfully truths about the current state of the world. Thanks for this own!

What a sharp tone. This was a brilliant collaboration.
