“Everything I don’t like is genocide,”
“Everything I don’t like is genocide,” they chant with smug faces.

Fine.

I don’t like cities turned to rubble,
I don’t like families buried underneath,
I don’t like mangled bodies,
I don’t like scattered bones,
I don’t like the sound a parent makes when they outlive their child,
I don’t like babies learning the sounds of war before they learn the sound of birds.

So no… 
I don’t like Russia’s genocide in Ukraine.
I don’t like Israel’s genocide in Palestine.
I don’t like anyone’s genocide anywhere.

Police the words of the living
while the dead keep piling up.
History will not remember
who won the argument.

It will remember the dead.
It will remember who killed them.
It will remember who enabled it.

Call me a fool. Call me a terrorist.  Call me whatever you need to call me to wipe the blood off your hands and the guilt from your soul. But most of all, call me predictable:

Everything I don’t like is genocide.
