What if it were true? 

What if a genocide was being committed during your lifetime, 

By your so-called allies, with your so-called leaders’ blessing,

paid for by your own money?

What if the people you empathize with were perpetrating it? 

Just imagine that for a second, what if?

If that were indeed true, ask yourself- what would it take for you to believe that it were true? What evidence would you require? 

Is there anything at all that would convince you?

How many voices, how many videos how many statistics, how much common sense?

How many images cages for food, bombed tents, burning hospitals, living skeletons, dead skeletons would tip the scale?

How many journalists killed, how many doctors testimony, how many United Nations votes?

How many days of deprivation?

We did only be the passing of time? How much time?

Would it help if your granddaughter showed you a chapter from her textbook once this become history?

Will you wait for the arithmetic as an entire nation is placed in concentration camps: former population – incarcerated = death toll?

What number are you looking for, give or take?

If there is truly nothing that will change your mind, what does that tell you about yourself?

It seems you prefer to believe what you believe then to believe the truth. And I pity you.

But if there is still a spark in you. If there is something that could convince you, then you have a job to do. 

Seek it out, find out. 

Prove to yourself that your mind is still yours and take your heart along too.
