dichotomies highlight
complexities existing
in our hearts, souls, and minds
warped by news and
fake news or just
plain old propaganda
chanting never again
never again!
never again!!
to no! not again!
not again, no,
no not again...
we gotta do something!
we must do something!
it has to stop
can somebody do something?
say those who can't
do very much
grandchild of a genocide
of a genocide survivor
pulled every which way
by what we see
happening now
by what we see and
can do nothing about
reminds us
how they, yeah them,
our tshnamis
emptied us from our lands
and then dismantled
anything, everything
anything that mighta
shown we were there
we were once there
on what were our lands
our "we lived there
forever lands"
they destroyed
our churches or
made 'em mosques
or worse barns
now carpeted
in işı budur
but we still
got the photos of...
holy mother of god
they just fucking did it again
no! not again!
now others, once victims
are 'perpetrating'
emptying others
new victims
from their lands
their "we lived there
forever lands"
these perpetrators
doing it better,
more efficiently
emptying the lands
blowing up everything
all of their everythings
blowing up their homes
with them still in them
they have to leave
there is nothing
no reason to stay
people gone
evidence rubbled
in one vile
massive
genocidal
war crime...
so what if, it,
this crime
every heinous act
documented and
social mediaed
real time and
we all feel lost,
horrible, emptied
sad, devastated
many of us
give a shit
and no one
no country
no person
that could make
any difference does
a fucking thing
war by remote control
the ultimate, efficient,
obscene, and vile,
violent abstraction
drafted while listening to the
laments at the TAYF concert
