Snow White
Take a bite
Of this shinny red apple called life
And tell me what you taste
Is it the sick syrup of genocide
Gone unnoticed
Or the tangy taste of a thousand births to cover it up
Weighing life is a challenge
Yours is worth as much as your country
It seems
Generations they scream with severed tongues
We are the same
Yet holy different
So who is to blame
For this indecent exhibition of
Human
Behavior
This apple is rotten and I choke
