Do not give me
The blood of another person
Telling me
Its for my future survival
How can I just sit here
Believing that it doesn’t matter
When babies, mothers, people
Are just killed
Believing it ensures my survival
 
Don’t go killing on my account
After you turned
A blind eye
A deaf ear
To all the sights and sounds
Of bigotry and hatred
Inequality and injustice
The seeds that germinate
Into the reasons given
To kill whoever
 
To wait until crises erupt
You being forced to fight
One time friends
Rings of hypocrisy
When the horrors used
Justifying today’s war
Are the atrocities of your friends
That were accommodated yesterday
With many a pretenses
Denying they ever occurred
As if those lives had no worth
Or the pains of those
Suffering lost of loved ones
Is of less significance
 
Sprouting out moral indignation today
With self-righteous attitudes
Are but echoes
Bouncing off the mis-education
While upholding concepts
Of inequality on various pretexts
Stereotyping and dividing
Justifying the abuse of power
Because the victims of the mis-education
Still the ones to pay the price
For the action taken
As you come to their rescue
