Genocide Is Shameless

Through early morning bombs I see


The nightmare of the civilians who flee


the crimes that are so clear to  me


I realize and I can see...



that genocide is shameless


It brings on deathly changes


and we can’t take or leave it if we please.


We try to find a way to make


all our little joys relate


without that ever-present hate


And now we all know that it's already far too late, and...




The game of war is hardly play


Bomb dusted children now bleed out every day.


The humanitarian pause is useless now,


so this is all there is to say:



that genocide is shameless


It brings on deathly changes


and we can’t take or leave it if we please.


We try to find a way to make


all our little joys relate


without that ever-present hate


And now we all know that it's already far too late, 



The way the Rulers win is to cheat


flay down the children - victory complete.


The  moral army wades indiscrete


In rivers of blood, the task complete..



Oh genocide is shameless


It brings on deathly changes


and we can’t take or leave it if we please.


We try to find a way to make


all our little joys relate


without that ever-present hate


And now we all know that it's already far too late, 



The sword of crime will pierce their skins


It already hurts when it begins


And as it works its way on in


The pain grows stronger...while we watch Death grin.

and genocide is shameless


It brings on deathly changes


and we can’t take or leave it if we please.


We try to find a way to make


all our little joys relate


without that ever-present hate


And now we all know that it's already far too late, 



A brave man once requested me


to answer questions that are key


is it to be or not to be bombed


I replied ‘what can I do?’ for I am numbed.



'Cause genocide is shameless


it brings on deathly changes


and we can’t take it or leave it as we plea.


Ceasefire and stop the killing

From the river to the sea.

Cab you imagine 2 million people, families, streets, wards and boroughs being bombed out of their homes in London?
