Again and Again

Who will save the little girl Scared and all alone, The little girl that was chased And shot at from her home? Who will cry for the little boy Who was only five, That was slaughtered by machetes After watching his family die? Whose heart will hurt for the woman Terrified and so young, That was gang raped while she was pregnant And ended up losing her unborn son? Who will feel for the man Who risked his life and strived, To keep his family from death But found out they were burned alive? Who will care about these people When countries take the time to spend, The time, energy, and money to help After they said “Never Again”? The Holocaust, Cambodia, Rwanda, Darfur Again and again it goes, When will it ever stop? Seems like no one knows. Who can relate to being forced to work Or hiding away? Can you imagine being forced To dig your own grace? To be mistreated And ill fed, All the while knowing They want you dead? Being cut and sliced And left to die, Without ever knowing The real reason Why? Because you’re Jew, Tutsi, Gypsy or black? No legitimate reason And that’s a fact. This is not right and it needs to end So it can finally be true When we say “Never Again.”
