A Tale of a Rohingya

When I saw them burning my paddy field,
I pleaded - DON'T!

When I saw them burning my house,
I pleaded - DON'T!

When they swang my baby into the the blaze;
I begged them - DON't!

Then they gangraped my pregnant wife, 
Suffocating one inside,

I cried - DON'T!

Now they turned to me 
To make me a ghost.
