Ashamed

For a long while, I didn't know how to react or which side to pick.

I cried for the children on both sides; they don't deserve any of this.

For a long while, I didn't go with my Berkeley friends to the street,

didn't wear the T-shirt that reads "From the river to the sea".

But I respected and admired my friends who were adamant and vocal.

 Now, the picture is entirely different,

and everything has gone out of control.

At this point,

how can we still remain silent???

All of them are dying; they are being genocided.

The children are murdered one by one.

The babies are starved into skeletons.

They are slowly being wiped out from the face of Earth.

How can we carry on our lives as if nothing is happening?

Aren't we ashamed of ourselves?

We are all culprits, living in a time when genocide is happening, 

and we did nothing about it!!!

We did nothing about it!!!
