Reporting On The Bombings In Quetta Poem by Dennis Ryan

Reporting On The Bombings In Quetta



"Amnesty International has documented 91 separate attacks on Shiites across Pakistan since January 2012... At least half of those killed were Hazaras, Amnesty said, even though they are one of the smallest ethnic groups in Pakistan."- CNN, "The World"
Hazara children don't read history books.

They are the history: the targeted, maimed, broken, dying ones.
In Quetta, Hina Ali Hazara picks up her brother's bloody body parts,
screams, "Why does no one stop this senseless killing? ? ! ! "
