Harken to all that is said
Far to many people end up dead,
By the hand of injustice
Or at the hands of those immune to peace.
What value of life is there today
When the killing is on display,
Broadcast on the global screens
We have become desensitised by these scenes.
Loved by those left behind
These images serve to remind,
Them of the brutal nature of their death
Those final moments,
Those final breathes.
A testament as clear as day
To man’s inhumanity to man so plain,
We need to say no more of this pain
For now we need to effect real change.
