WE CHARGE GENOCIDE

M. Fernandes

We petition 


genocide

 

genocide 


genocide

dwarfed by the 

 

 trappings 

 justified by 

 

 ruthless

    tributes

 that mouth  aphorisms of Anglo-Saxon 

 kills      genocide of which we complain is as much a fact as gravity.

The whole world knows of it


 Its very

familiarity disguises its horror

      so hidden by talk of liberty


 and the deadly legal euphemisms 

 

 

An erasure of a short section of “We Charge Genocide: The Crime of Government Against the Negro People,” a paper written by the Civil Rights Congress to the UN in 1951.
