A Million Grossly Killed
Millions mourned and regret
Black on Black crime spread
Hotel Rwanda contained the threat
The lost search for sanctuary
While leaders dumb down hatred
The slaughter begets migration
No escaping lies of patriots
Silent drums echo for the dead
An unrighteous undeserved injustice
A movie grossed 23 million
Still one million killed by malice
Trees grieve the genocide
And soil remembers death
Candles burn forgiveness
A million put to rest
A million noses flared over thick full lips
A million heads of curled and kinky hair
A million never to do the electric slide
While we asked How to be a Millionaire
A million pair of clapping hands
A million hearts, beating chests
A million footprints dragging in the sand
A million marched on to death
