Millions in Guatemala and Colombia, I remained silent
Millions disappeared in Argentina, I remained silent
But at the end of Holocaust, I did promise “Never again”.
Millions perished in Rwanda, I remained silent
Millions more in Balkans, I remained silent
Millions now in Myanmar, I remain silent.
But at the end of Holocaust, I did promise “Never again”.
“Never again,” eternally perpetuated and never practiced
I remain silent, I never protest.
