Genocide

Dateline: April through July, 1994
One Hundred days of bloody hell
Literally bloody bloody bloody hell
800,000
Men, women and most of all children
Killed
Dead
Decapitated
Decimated
Demoralized
An eradication campaign
Location – Rwanda, not Iraq

Dateline: January 1999
6,000 dead
Bodies draped in red
Blood everywhere
2,000 children missing
Places unknown
Location: Sierra Leone

Dateline: 1975-1979
No intervention of any kind
1,700,000 gone
21% of the population
Dead
No more
Location: Cambodia

Dateline: As of 2002
600,000 missing
Presumed dead
Picture this
Organized mass murder
Bodies piled up
Set on fire
Tortured
Raped
Or maybe they were
Abducted by aliens
Location: East Timor

The world waits
Seems to me it hesitates
Death everywhere
Starving children stare
Tattered clothes
No place for abodes
Argument erupts
Diplomatic constructs
Close your eyes
Sorry – no where to hide

Hi Super,
I was there seen it, was right in the middle of it, horrors of undescribable magnitude,
Genocide the blood lust of Man, the most horrible sight on earth.---Morchuis

Excellent, Sara. This pretty much sums it up. While the United States was busy demonizing Saddam Hussein, it quietly supported the brutal dictatorship of Suharto in Indonesia and his occupation of East Timor.
