Genocide and dissociation
how do I convince myself
and others
that we need to empathize
with genocide
right away
right now
I can still see the gashes
open ****** open bodies
still beautiful butts
not rotted yet
naked ****** open bodies
spilling out
what you keep inside
screaming in the background
of what you keep inside
cell phone genocidal drone
bright shiny fresh
****** scars of black bodies
so you can keep your face
into a screen
antisocialize
be noticed
cobalt, platinum, plutonium
gold, diamond, oil
all the names of genocide
to make whiteness think its real
so you can keep it inside
dissociate and hold hands
kiss and ****
dissociate to smile for the kids
while other children ******
opened up
naked
so you can keep dissociating
screen and eyes anti socialize
but its all based on happiness
from lies
the screen is made from
internal imperial dissociation
of tortured children
war bloodied and naked for you
no curiosity or questioned
confidence
in consumption
the leisure love life of genocide committee
competing
enforcing dissociation
scared to end up like it
crumpled souls naked
contorted on the streets
eat sleep and breathe genocide
until too tired to brutalize
