Genocide

They killed a poem.
They killed a poem with tea-stained pages.
They killed a poem still bleeding when touched.
They killed a poem unfinished.
They killed one that's yet to be thought.
They killed a poem inside of a poem.
A poem knee-deep in its mother soil.
A poem still learning to live.
A poem trembling at the edge of the mouth.
A poem asleep inside the ink.
A poem silenced before its first breath.
They killed a poem inside of a poem.

Genocide They killed a poem. They killed a poem with tea-stained pages. They killed a poem still bleeding when touched. They killed a poem unfinished. They killed one that's yet to be thought. They killed a poem inside of a poem. A poem knee-deep in its mother soil. A poem still learning to live. A poem trembling at the edge of the mouth. A poem asleep inside the ink. A poem silenced before its first breath. They killed a poem inside of a poem. And you, readers, And you, self-proclaimed worshippers of words... ... "Silence has a right to be," and so it does. Until silence is all that is left. with heaps of dead poems and your living dead.
