‘In response to the attempt to massacre the Tamil national community in Sri Lanka, one activist wrote the following poem’

No Fire Zones
–
“No” said the world
While thousands cried,
Begging for Mercy.
–
“No” said the world
While infants blown
And into pieces torn.
–
“No” said the world
While the injured
Died for lack of medical aid
–
“No” said the world
While women got raped
And thrown into fire.
–
“No” said the world
While a river of blood
Took stream on the sand
–
“No” said the world
When thousands begged
For intervention from the world
Of shallow morals and hollow justice.
