Never Again

When 6 million Jews died
You said never again

Yet it happened again, again and again
The genocide in Rwanda
You watched

Ethnic cleansing in Bosnia 
You waited

Till the worst was over
Then slowly waded in

Now Rohingya and you close your eyes
Do you remember you said never again?

Mubarika, the hate goes on and on like a cancer spreading in search of the weak.
