Do Not Side With Genocide

· Poetry
broken image

Do not side with genocide Even if you can't feel the pain
Or relate to the oppressed, or the slain
Or see the bombs when it rained
and fell unto angels and saints
When dark overtakes light
Until nothing is in sight
But grains of the river in all its might
Swept up and perished with little fight.

Do not side with genocide Because it stings with hypocrisy
From said river to the sea
Where there's no freedom or the free
When you can't tell wrong from right
When they closed the deserts at night
So the sands shall all stand upright
To bear witness of the genocide
For greater heights, and abundance of fright.
