Living Through A Genocide

By: Ershad Khan November 7, 2023

I'm living through a genocide Thousands of innocent children died Bombed, crushed, torn in pieces I simply feel numb inside I'm living through a genocide...

Carpet bombing day and night Open prison, no place to hide I don't see with my Western eyes Yet I'm living through a genocide

Mainstream media and their lies I happily inhale, I oblige I don't flinch, don't empathize While I'm living through a genocide

But they're from a higher creed Their homes flattened, hearts bleed In billowing smoke they can't breathe Yet God's praise they utter indeed.

Faith increased with greater plight A special people, dignified How we have utterly failed them Our indifferent souls have surely died

That's the ultimate genocide!
