Inspired by tensionliterary’s prompt on Instagram: Tell No One

Tell no one that a genocide is being committed

In the name of a god, a people, an ethnostate

Tell no one children are dying

Tell no one women are dying

Tell no one man are dying

Tell no one entire families are lost in the rubble

Tell no one our bombs are shattering past, present, and future 

Tell no one it’s our fault

That would make family gathering awkward and disagreeable
