How to stop the murdering? By now we should have learned –
if we don’t then we’re sham, bad overwhelms the good.
What I’ve seen – yes, it’s changed how I see humankind –
I used to think progress was being made, that we could get something right.
When we first got to the camp our supplies were not enough.
I saw a displaced family eating a cold horse’s hoof.
We set up tents, brought in water, air drops were dispersed.
I saw people kill each other just to get there first.
What we did? Why we did it? I make no excuse –
we got things wrong, but we also did some good.
I believe we have a future to do something good.
Enough is enough.
A line in the sand.
Seven or eight thousand
killed by hand.
They stepped off the edge
they did not step back.
If we haven’t learnt by now
then we’re a sham.
