A poem about Genocide
Blood shed from the mass killings of innocents
Innocents who are hated for being different
For having different religious points of view
For having different skin colors
For something that they cant help
Mass murders
Whole villages destroyed
Families ripped apart
Children kidnapped and forced to be soldiers
Taught how to hate at a young age
Brainwashed to think that they are doing the right thing
Enslaving adults
Killing those who disobey you
Refugee camps filled with villages of people
Where they don’t have enough food
Starving to death
Not knowing if their loved ones are alive or not
Waiting in line for food,
Even though there isn’t enough to go around

War torn countries
Where peace is rare
Where the sound of gunshots is common and,
Explosions are heard in the distance.
Villages invaded by rebels
Innocent lives stolen
Killed by children
In cold-blood

Dead bodies litter the area
Friends and family gone forever
Never to return
Looking at the rebels,
Hearing their laughter and cries of joy
Watching them celebrate
Cant believe that they are joyous about death
Joyous that they are now killers
That children are celebrating killing
Celebrating the deaths of people they knew,
Of friends and family,
Who they now just killed.
