Genocide

 

Genocide:

The murder of many, similar to a massacre.

So, is that what we call this 

This mess of human bodies 

That aren’t so human anymore 

Just shells with lifeless eyes

Like dolls that just stare

Till the bystanders get scared 

And the guilt threatens them 

So they close the deceased eyes 

The images forever haunting them

Can we call this genocide?

If they haven’t all died together 

Or if we weren’t all dancing at the same party

Or do we call this something else 

And epidemic maybe 

As we systematically decide who dies

Or do we ignore this disaster 

And count each body as a statistic 

For whatever category of different they belong in.
