Poem

a life is a life
there is no grading scale of value
irrespective of
country of origin
or country of residence
or country of destination

a life is a life
we are all children
of God
there is no lesser God
there is no greater God
there is God
the Supreme Being
We are all his children

we call Him by different names
that is to our own shame
He is the same

a life is a life
not man's to take
not man's to torture
not man's to break

a life is a life
the life blood still seeps
into the ground
while we stand by and weep

and still the question echoes
"where is your brother?
where is your sister?
where are the children?
where are the mothers
the fathers?
whose blood is soaking the ground?"

and still we shamelessly bellow:
"Am I my Brother's Keeper?"

and the answer hasn't change
time cannot change it
nor circumstance
"yes"
......"Oh, Yes!"
we are one family
Don't just let it be...
"Who cares!
it's not happening to me!"

Stockholm and Syria
My heart is crying
endless requiem
for those dead and dying

a life is a life is a life...is a life
one day that life will be mine
one day that life will be yours
that life will be taken
taken by force

who places the value on life?

Silence is the breeding ground
where atrocitiesmflourish
"after all, who remembers the Armenians"
Hitler intimated
as the Jews he annihilated

Speak OUT!

a life is a life
death was not meant to be
not for them
not for you
not for me

a life is a life
