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?


tellers flawed

sub test
bested friscans, outed
not a vow about it
sheens and dreams
cameroon once held blooms in truth
never hid out in bosnia long enough
with opened hands
looking be kind at him
israelly waters eyes so himilayan
an trapped
too wrapped in his daughters heyday's
brazillia soo wild and repressed
from americaint pick up the bodies
melted frets in my brush 
strokes forgetting
english frustraiting the curved bowties

Sometimes in Srebrenica

It might be a city of paradise in Bosnia,
Its memories are as fragile as a vase 
The horrors and tears stained on the canvas of time
And it's something that no one forgets.

With a child snatched from his mother,
Begging her to pray for his soul
As fear ascends like a dark cloud
Standing in line and awaitng the bullet of death.

Why does it always hurt us much?
Hatred with all in the name of religion,
We deserve to live as equals
And always pledge to "Never Again."
