Boys on the beach






We want to play
We want to run free
Forget about the bombs
Forget that my parents were murdered
Forget my grandparents were killed in their villages
Forget that my relatives are being tortured in jails
Forget that I cant go to school because its been blown up
Forget that I live in rubble
Forget that I can't escape this living hell
Forget for a moment
Forget that one of neighbors was ran over in car
By a man who will never be tried for murder
Forget that there is no future and there is no hope
We want to play
Bang
My friend does not move anymore
Bang
Sniper takes another person I know
I can still run
I can still get away
Bang
Did something hit me?
I look up
I feel warm
Am I bleeding?
The dead don’t need to play anymore

I condemn you all




I condemn you all

Why should I say anything?

Why should I condemn?

Because you told me to?

Because I should act for justice?

Then let me begin

Are you sitting comfortably?

I condemn those who fabricated a war for natural resources

I condemn those who engineer consent to genocide

I condemn those who invaded peaceful counties

I condemn those who encouraged others to invade

I condemn the racist media - a product of war propaganda

I condemn those who steal land from the massacred

I condemn those who support murderers

I condemn those who bring peace with guns and bombs

I condemn the war machine

I condemn those who with guns

I condemn those who kill and harm innocent civilians

I condemn those who point fingers at others for less

I condemn those who ignore their own criminals

I condemn those companies who exploit modern slaves

I condemn all who fund groups to destabilise sovereign nations

I condemn those who bomb civilians and send in the troops

I condemn those who torture people

I condemn you all who keep innocents behind bars

I condemn you all

I condemn all those who kill, maim, and harm innocents in any manner

I condemn you all repeatedly

Did you get all that?

Did I cover it all?

You wanted my condemnation

Here is my condemnation

I hope it makes you happy
