Double Standards
The silence is deafening.
The Devil capers madly.
Soldiers revel in atrocities.
Demons slaughter the innocents.
The silence becomes thunderous.
Beasts brutalise the oppressed.
Their resistance is legendary.
Famine stalks the rubble.
The silence is shattered!
Strangers fight the iniquity.
Nations condemn the deaths.
… Still the murders continue.
The silence is deafening…
How is this “war”?
The victims are blamed.
The “chosen people”, praised.
Are all lives not equal?
