Oh Aaron, in flames,
What did you learn?
What horror crossed your desk
And drove you to burn?

A man, in flames
No longer complicit

In genocide.

“Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery?

Or the Jim Crow South?
Or apartheid?

What would I do if my country
was committing genocide?'

The answer is,

you're doing it.

Right now.”
