Empty

Your words ring empty and untrue

  in the face of violence you cannot

Justify

It doesn't make sense to use empty

  arguments, ignoring the dead every

Time

You must not see their faces or

  hear their names, even in your

Sleep

There will be no rest if we only think

  of ourself and what we 

Want

It is not the good of the majority

  no matter how loudly you 

Proclaim

It is not a word of comfort you offer

  it is ignoring the tears coming from the

Loved

Offering does not mean spewing 

  your position as if it's the only

One

Offering is sacrifice

  what will you let

Die
