Algo in the genocide

Okay I won’t use the word Jewish

And I won’t use the word Zionist

And I won’t use the word genocide

And I won’t use the word apartheid

And I won’t use the word settler

And I won’t use the word colony

And I won’t use the word killed

And I won’t use the word watermelon

And I won’t use the word Palestine

And I won’t use the word resistance

And I won’t use the word law

And I won’t use the word moral

And I won’t use the word men

And I won’t use the word God

And I won’t use the word river

And I won’t use the word sea

And I won’t use the word free

And I won’t use the word children

For the young of _____ are always _____

What are we left with at the end?

A murdered dictionary and field

After silent field of unmarked graves.
