The Double Standards Of Genocide…
If it was happening here…
well, it wouldn’t be
(happening
here).
One rich man’s tear
would’ve been enough to have made it stop,
to have Nato come rallying around us
demanding a ceasefire ‘cos
‘You can’t do this, it’s genocide,
and we will not be complicit in looking the other way.’
The hypocrisy of this ( ^ ) when in Gaza
the genocide is nearing its 31st day
and yet, no one has done anything,
no one has been doing anything,
except sitting on the side of the oppressor
as we come together
to be complicit,
to look the other way.
Because, apparently, one rich man’s tear
holds more weight than that of the two million Palestinians
who are living in fear
every single day that this war goes on,
waking up every morning thinking,
‘Will this be the day that we get bombed?’
‘Will this be the day that I have to bury my child?’
‘Will this be the day that we are all exiled?’
When a genocide is happening right in front of our very eyes,
how can we sit by,
doing nothing,
and still get to sleep at night?…
