First they come for you

Your family and your crops

Then your house and your village

Your mountains and your rivers

They set it all on fire.

Then they come again

With cameras and flashes

“Documenting” what is lost

They take some shots

You say some lines

History has been documented

Move on to the next one.

Another village, another town

Light it all on fire

Then go back in as firefighters.
