Genocide

The genocide is there for all to see

Some survive, others flee

The havoc is great

The indifference greater

Where there were roads

There’s now a crater

Orphans screaming

Mothers weeping

No one can cope

They have lost all hope

But the greed for land

And absolute power

Makes the helpless

Shudder and cower…

Where is this headed

And will it ever end ?

It looks as if minds

Have gone around the bend..

Few listen, and do their share

And their hearts, souls

And pockets - do bare

Aid is given

To the stricken

But that is grabbed

And powerless are nabbed

It’s a grim scenario

And scary to see

Imagine if you can

That it’s happening to you or me…

Then you will wonder

When things are torn asunder

How days keep rolling on

And conscience has quit and gone…
