WHEN EDUCATED PEOPLE CAN'T HANDLE A STREET PROTEST AGAINST AN ONGOING GENOCIDE

I'm listening to videos about

the genocide in Gaza,

the bride whose groom was killed

trying to get food the day

before their wedding,

the activist whose boat

was hijacked by Israel,

while trying to write

and translate, then take a break

from the extermination of human beings,

turn to a video about astronomy news,

the third instellar object flying

through the solar system among others,

but one of the hosts claims

to have been 'intimidated'

by having to come across a demonstration

against the genocide in Gaza.

And people still wonder

why the Holocaust was allowed to happen

when educated people, experts

of the most violent events in nature,

novas, supernovas, kilonovas and hypernovas,

can't handle a street protest

against an ongoing genocide.
