THEY TOO, KILL

It's not just the people who pull the trigger,

who launch the missile, drop the bomb,

or give the order, who kill.

The people who support the slaughter,

the people who deny the genocide,

they too, kill.

Without them the politician couldn't give

the command, the general couldn't tell

his soldiers to commit carnage

and the troops wouldn't obey.

Perhaps they who support and deny

are the worst of all of them.
