for Palestine and for Sudan

How ruthless our silences
in the plain face of genocide.
How predicatable.
We would strangle a war
while it slept
but only if we knew
it would one day
come to us like a dog
no one called.
I am here to tell you
it is coming for us.
I am here to tell you
all wars will come to us
eventually.
