The Silence Of Victims
Now, lets have a minutes silence for
the three thousand Afghans who
perished under a hailstorm of freedom
bombs when we hunted Bin Laded and
failed. And a minute silence for those
in Rwanda and Burundi who were
hacked to death in a jungle clearings
while we watched, hand in pockets.
Not to forget those in Chile, Argentine
and Honduras taken out at night and shot
because they didnt believe in the great
capitalist society. Victims they are of
state sponsored terror So many dead that
minutes will stretch into hours of silence
and that wont do upsetting the wheels of
industry. Abstract numbers erased by our
collective memory, cause they didnt die
under the full glare of daytime T.V, but we
must never make the error of thinking that
those lives lost are of lesser value than ours.
