Not the Way Forward
Hundo Word of the Day-Genocide
The shadow of bare bones
Carry the whisper of suffering
Across time and space
Remembrance the key
Holding in the Pain of loss
The deterrent blocks the greed
Until the shadow passes
Do we begin again
To remember our missteps?
Or do we forge ahead?
Entitled to take again what is not ours?
But stepping on little fingers
Their screams unheard
As we rationalize our progress
Such progress as we digress in the minds
Of those who came before us
Do our ancestors not twist and writhe
And Scream No?
Is this evolution or the worst of hubris?
Genocide is not the way
To create a new world
