When Armenians Die Again

 

When Armenians die again

And again

And again

 

In the hands of smiling barbarians

Armies of conquering monkeys

Rattling helmets against rocks

Stomping boots made in China

Bullets by the bucket

Guns poking eye sockets.

 

When Turks scam the earth

And dance over corpses

Professing religion, piety, rape

Smiling to the camera

Riding on tanks

Drones killing new conscripts

By digital prowess

 

Azeri animals left to graze

Mother Russia, encouraging

The raids, hospital bombings

Kindergarten cluster bombs

Sirens, cryin’ mothers, slaves

 

A world of lies, commerce, hate.

A world never not at war.

In permanent maddening

Disgrace

 

When Armenians die again

And again

And again
