Spotlight On Murder Type Victims: In 2016 And 1940s Poem by Terence George Craddock

Istanbul 44 dead 2016 terrorist bomb victims
340 dead Iraqi victims from Bagdad but no
buildings are lit with light; this teaches lesson
colour nationality counts in death all are not equal
some victims people are executed with immunity
did not the holocaust death of six million Jews
half a million gypsies not already teach us this?
the same monsters with different uniforms faces

are still persecuting murdering
the innocent unless we protest
physically intervene plea voice mass
protest stop racists they will continue
we cannot offer racists murderers
killers an immunity of indifference

scale was terrorist bomb attacks localized
contrasted to a nation sanctioned holocaust
purpose built industrialized killing camps
in all Nazi terror occupied countries conquered
forget not Islamic State also conducted genocide
a main difference Islamic State had just started

an Islamic State legacy from brutal rule
imposed on almost eight million people
countless atrocities carried out lives slain

teaches policies of disease hate justified
taught institutionalized if allowed to cancer spread
will ruthless rape torture kill innocent lives
