How To Orchestrate A Genocide

Tweak laws 
Stratify identity 
Threaten activists 
Silence dissent 
Round up the poets 
Punish opposition 
Blame the victims 
Appropriate their oppression 
Sing of your righteousness

Say it with the right accent 
So that it sounds acceptable

Do it in a suit and tie 
So that it looks professional

Kill them in the dead of night 
So that it seems accidental

Give the weeping mother a care package 
To appear sentimental

Tell us it was a mistake 
To fan the flames of an inferno

Hate with such ferocity 
That it could feel like love
