Tell me you didn't know

Tell me you didn’t know.

Pretend it’s not happening.

Block your ears to their pleading

Cover your eyes so you cannot see them

Put up fences to keep your distance

Close your mind to stop thoughts

Oranienburg

Auschwitz

Dachau

Manus Island

Nauru

Christmas Island – a gift from you

Tell yourself you’re not responsible

Tell yourself it’s all their fault

Try not to see the children’s faces

Try not to think about the children

Try not to hear them

You will write your own history of this time

And they will write theirs
