This poem compares the genocide in Sudan to the Holocaust |
Today’s Holocaust (dedicated to Jon) God’s greatly loved lambs Meekly led to slaughter, Where parents helplessly watched Deaths of their sons and daughters. Packed like sardines in boxcars An entire country watched emotionless, As hundreds of thousands of souls Traveled to the depths of Hell. Stone soap and gas showers Medical experiments, Lamp shades made of skin Ashes snowed upon tenements. Unspeakable atrocities Wielded by man’s hand Those who survived witnessed Man’s inhumanity to man. Where was God in the camps? Why didn’t He better things? God gave us free will to make choices We are not puppets on strings. Survivors tell their stories So that none will forget, Man did not learn from history As genocide in Sudan, man begets. Tears of angels fall to earth Intentionally ignored by most A phoenix arises from spilt blood Flying up to the Heavenly Host. Open your eyes to the genocide You won’t find in the news, It’s a dirty secret of rape and murder Wake up! Don’t use ignorance as an excuse. God’s blessings will rain upon you If you open your heart to their plight, There is much you can do To help Sudan in their fight. |
