Poem for Genocide Day - 22nd April 2013 - Cardiff




It is crazy I know, ‘Denial’ has taken hold
Out cries, protests all aspire - Fall on deff ears! 
Here is hope, a trickle, a chance to give those 
Dignity without graves for their plight they are found! 

One hundred years almost has past, their cries in
Protest in our ears still ring aloud - We are tied to protocol, 
Government, politics, and such like to -
Give them dignity, remembrance, memorial and National pride! 

Ring out, ring out let all the Church bells chime, our fellow
Welsh have said we have pride in human kind - Your
Silent protests and vigils, have woken our ears and eyes! 
We say ‘IT IS GENOCIDE!’
