Stand Aloof!

Stand Aloof!

A Poem by Joseph Eluzai
"

Darfur and the 'homicide' there......

"

Stand aloof,

not under our roof,

you genocidaires!

Our withered hands are groping for the questionnaires

To scatter your bloodthirsty dawn across

Without thought or remorse

Stand aloof, champion of crimes frozen

In the midst of time forgotten

In your wild ride across haunting cries

Of children and their mothers under the skies

Who among us can outpace you to the cowshed of mongers

Saddled on gingers?

Bent on bringing dignity to its knees

To meet the rising fees

Of your heartless aggression void of contemplation

And your bloody mission stripped of notion

Rolling back humanity

In the name of insanity

Darfur is just a bout of your tattoos

In a world that claims taboos

Shame is too small a word for your sin

If the world still cares about the color of your victim’s skin

Outrage is a big joke

Because you have friends who still poke!

Rwanda was the heap of your shavings

Darfur will be the tip of your cravings

Who will ever question

When we have never learnt a lesson?

Seasoned genocidaires,

Or established millionaires?

The line simply blurs;

Just as sure as a cat purrs
