The Raven's Call to Justice
A Plea for Humanity's Soul
0, fairest humanity, how art thou torn
By genocide's dark wings, that spread despair
And with each innocent life, that's torn
A piece of our collective soul, doth share
The Torah's words, "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13)
Echo through the ages, a moral imperative still
The Quran's verse, "Whoever kills a soul...it is as if he had slain mankind entirely" (Quran 5:32)
A stern warning, to those who would perpetrate
And in the Bible, "Love thy neighbor as thyself"
(Leviticus 19:18) A commandment, that genocide's cruelty doth defy
Yet still we witness, the senseless slaughter and pain
And the world, in silence, doth acquiesce, in shame
But we, who possess knowledge, granted by the Almighty
Shall witness death's dark shadow, that doth pursue
The perpetrators of genocide, with relentless might
And we shall see, their wickedness, brought to the light
And when the raven's call, doth echo through the land.
We shall remember, the lives lost, and the blood-stained hand
That wielded power, with cruelty and disdain
And we shall know, that justice, shall be served, in the end, in vain.
