Are we being Silenced?

A Poem About Silence

By Barbara RouxPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
AI-Generated - B Roux

Sitting on my couch in shock and horror

Innocent children are witnesses to the slaughter and torture,

Little white lies are shared to ease the questions of a nation’s eradication

Exploitation of an event, to justify a massacre

Never allowed to speak, silenced behind the wall, the tents, the camps.

Can I talk to you about the things I've seen?

Echoes of the silencing are heard while bombs are dropped on a piece of land
