Viral Contagion
the chambers of Auschwitz are never far away
ashes do not disperse genocide that easily
cracked skulls in Rwanda don’t break away
from bone master’s lost conscience
agent orange is not yet whiter than white
Saigon holds more memories than a musical
killing fields in Cambodia famine in the Yemen
should speak a clear message to what true hardship is
all I have to do is wear a mask and wait for an injection
though there is no vaccination yet for stupidity
in the face of what is a minor incursion of freedom
compared to slaughter and crusades for a false crown
