Genocide Victims
*Everyone has a name
given to him by God
and given to him by his parents
*Everyone has a name
given to him by his stature
and the way he smiles
and given to him by his clothing
*Everyone has a name
given to him by the mountains
and given to him by the walls
*Everyone has a name
given to him by the stars
and given to him by his neighbors
*Everyone has a name
given to him by his sins
and given to him by his longing
*Everyone has a name
given to him by his enemies
and given to him by love
*Everyone has a name
given to him by his holidays
and given to him by his work
*Everyone has a name
given to him by the seasons
and given to him by his blindness
*Everyone has a name
given to him by his nation
and given to him by his faith
*Everyone has a name
given to him by the sea and
given to him
by his death
