Time is indifferent

bestial slaughter of the indigene
scars of hate build
red tides form
dead whales wash ashore
the slaughter of the bison
genocide of the Armenians
humans making endless war
unobserved by time
as the sands ever sift through fingers
time has no master
death is as birth
continuous and ever present
no damnation lingers
children born
elderly die
time continues to pass
close your eyes
the new born replace
the elders
time makes no notice
Rwanda
The Holocaust
Time churns on
Ocean fisheries collapse
The globe melts
Time pays no mind
We are dust
Soon we will pass
And time will be no different
Indifferent to our struggle
It grinds on
