Genocide Poem by nafisa baheranwala

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…
