How to create a ghetto - a dish for one community
This poem imagines the creation of a ghetto as a recipe, where you throw certain 'ingredients' together (amorality, racism, poverty to name a few) and wait for the finished result

How to create a ghetto - a dish for one community |
First, find some second generation immigrants.
Add in some racism and confused cultural identity,
Mix - to create poverty.
Now find narrow minds and an unwillingness to change,
Add bad parenting -
Allow to simmer.
In teenage males stir in low educational achievements,
A macho street ethos,
And a refusal to think for oneself.
Use plenty of blame culture (it's everyone else's fault),
Bring to the boil.
Now in a separate container
Mix bright women, aspirations,
A willingness to adapt,
Throw in employment, hard work and morality -
Allow to ferment.
Place beside your boiling mixture.
Add to your boiling mixture a plentiful helping of drugs, general thievery and joy-riding,
Beat violently with extreme religion,
Touch feebly with religious and community leaders
And leave well alone.
Finally, get some inadequates,
Watch the creation of an identity through destruction,
Apply to local shops, churches and the pubs -
Let the decent evaporate away.
Wash hands of all responsibility,
Then serve with large helpings of blindness and self-pity.
