✍️ Dr. Lokman Khan
They have abandoned their humanity—
left it broken on the roadside,
like a child’s doll torn and forgotten,
its eyes still wide with hope now crushed.
They brand killing as defense,
their guns speak in tongues of fire,
but no fortress rises from a mother’s scream,
no safety blooms from a field of graves.
They parade bombing as peace,
their warplanes carve grief into the sky,
and call the falling dust of cities
a promise of tomorrow.
They disguise genocide as justice,
wrapping the noose in legal words,
and hanging the truth until it chokes
in silence the world dares not break.
And I—
I rage because my tears are not enough,
I grieve because my voice is too small.
But in the ruins, I will plant these words,
so memory outlives their lies.
