A sickly sweet smell lingers
Bodies
Legs in the air
Bloated bellies
Senseless slaughter
Rivers of blood in country lanes
Hundreds of thousands dead
If this were a war in a foreign land there would be outrage
Instead of crying “Shame… Stop…”
The government shouts “Kill…Cull…”
and drafts the Army into a battle
on home soil that they're not trained for
It’s got all the facets of a work of fiction
****** lies, cover up
larger than life figures and unsung heroes
And above all, innocent victims
What will our children say
when they read of this real-life genocide?
Heads will hang in shame
and the pervasive memory of death will remain
