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,
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 we once there
in our 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 fucking just did it again
now others, once victims
are 'perpetrating'
emptying others
new victims for
seventy some years
from their lands
their "we lived there
forever lands"
the perpetrators
doing it better,
more efficiently
emptying the lands
blowing up everything
all 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 massive
war crime...
genocide
so what if, it,
this crime
every heinous
documented
social mediaed
all real time
many give a shit
and no one, no country,
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
