Televised Genocide

Can you paint a picture of a televised genocide?

How do you write a poem that screeches louder than a missile?

Is there an abstraction of symbols that are more poignant than the rubble?

Can you write with a fury burning brighter than a helpless child?

Is there a song that can be played louder than a mother’s cry?

Can you fill the mirror of a story with the endless barren earth?

Is there a revelation that can be shared more powerful than suffering?

Can you write a memorial that remembers tens of thousands dead?

Is there a way to stand beside the limbs of all the fallen?

Can you fill an empty page to make up for missing lives?

Is there enough silence in the world to drown out the gunfire?
