Withering snow melts white on
Winter boughs shuddering
The image of blood
Spitting fire of horrors
Laid claim to by those we chose to protect us
Nature wails while the human race is wiped off
By the few humans who have lost any sense of
Humanity
No longer human
Hearts of stone and greed
Self-obsessed and manipulative
How can we sleep while we’ve given the reigns of democracy to those who do not care if we are killed
Only care of their bank accounts
And plastic faces on billboard fame
Don’t care if hell breaks loose on us
Only that their shoes shine perfectly polished
And hair sits precisely gelled

Don’t think of fending off the torturers of the children they have the power to protect

We talk of nationalities and citizenships that bind or break positions of power
What use is a citizenship if it can’t differentiate
Between the one with heart and without

Because,
No human of authority is human if they have enough heart to watch while massacres are paraded.

This is a call for the human in us to wake up
This is a call to wake up and take control
This is a call for humanity
Wake up.
