... as the algae provide the coral with 90% of its energy, after expelling the algae the coral begins to starve. –Wikipedia on coral bleaching
We have to expel these foreign (colored)
elements. Although we benefit from (can’t do without)
their labor, they are a threat (essential)
to our way of life.
So out with them. Our body politic, purified (whitened)
stands ever stronger (bleached skeleton
starving
dead).
