Genocide

A poem dedicated to the many souls in Darfur who are losing their lives every day.

~Genocide~

Would you ever turn on your neighbor,
Cause hurt to him in vain?
Would you ever turn on your brother,
Delight in his cries of pain?

Would you turn up the volume,
Drown out the screeching noise?
Would you not care for them,
All the little girls and boys?

Would you stand there idly
By the blood of your kin?
Wait there, just watching,
Letting this all happen?

Would you let this murder go on
And look the other way?
Well, if you do,
There's a big price to pay.

Would you try to stop this,
Make this happen no more?
Come on, make a difference
To those in Darfur.
