The Day Snowflakes Died

Blood reigns through land and water
education through history,
shatter the glass,
stop and you are shot,
cradle and savor a bite of boullion cube,
slop,
for the grime on you,
pigs you are,
for you, you do not share,
our hair,
our eyes,
our color,
our faith,
pretend to be a martyr my friend,
your like will erupt into death and rot
rot and decay
decaying ashes,
they mold,
mold into the snow,
the snow of a European winter,
frost bite, no sight,
does it feel right?
wrong,
you are like the KKK,
fighting for nothing every day,
mass of blood,
mass of flesh,
smell it burning,
bubbling,
blistering,
burning bodies,
Kristallnacht teaches,
learn through history,
Stop Genocide.

We are all so much the same. Race is nothing; we are souls. Even gender is nothing. We are beautiful souls. You've made your point in this piece. Regards, Sara
