Rohingya [acrostic poem]




Rivers in Rohingya run red with the blood of the dead
Only because they're Muslim who pray five times a day
Humiliated, beaten, raped, repressed, tortured and left to die
Incarcerated, denied basic human rights to life
No one comes to help them or save them from this evil
God only knows how they pray daily to be saved
Yesterday should be history, but each day is the same
Allah please help the forgotten people of Rohingya.



This is a poem Lisa-Lee wrote a few years ago to try to help raise awareness of the plight of the people of Rohingya. Thankfully the world is more aware today.
