SILENCE Challenge

Holodomor

Scarred mothers remember babies dying in their arms,

Innocence ethnically cleansed, an engineered famine – the weapon of mass destruction

Legacy and lands - stolen, salted, left infertile

Expunged conspicuously from history classes in the West

No hope for peace when proud sons watched their fathers die

Cycle continues with vengeance a ticking timebomb in a broken child’s mind

Erased from history, their stories kept alive, memories passed down the line.

Acrostic
