The Monsters Of Myanmar- Rajuma’s Story

Our dearest heroine Rajuma, survived such brutal atrocities;
Brought by the monsters from Myanmar, as inhuman as can be!
It happened in late August, at Tula Toli, a little town;
In the western state of Rakhine, innocent blood spilling all around!
.
In the early morning hours, Rajuma was cooking a potato filled curry;
With her little boy beside her, she saw soldiers approaching hurriedly!
Her family quickly tried escaping, but were herded to a riverbank;
They separated the men from all the women, the former to their knees in fear they sank!
.
They kissed the feet of these wanton soldiers, and begged them for their lives;
But their pleas fell upon such deaf ears, as they were massacred with knives!
Rajuma clung onto her little boy, as she witnessed this carnage and she cried;
Then two soldiers came and clubbed her, ripped her baby from her side!
.
She watched in utter horror, his legs wiggling in the air;
These demons threw him in a fire, more pain can any Mother bear!
Then they dragged her to her small house, and raped her repeatedly;
After, they killed her sisters, little brother and her mother, such unheard of tragedy!
.
She laid motionless for hours, thinking she really now was dead;
But she woke, and the soldiers had departed, from her village she then fled!
She hid out in a unknown forest, til the morning sun arose;
Then somehow made her way to Bangladesh, where the border river flows!
.
Multitudes had fled there, to escape the cleansing of their race;
Rohingya Muslims are being slaughtered, just because of their religious faith!
She told this story to Jeffrey Gettleman, a New York Times reporter on the scene;
As her tears fell for her loved ones, the saddest he’d ever seen!

                                               Rohingya people
                               The world now knows of your plight
                                         Help will come your way

I plead with all my compassionate poets on Cosmo, we must form some sort of coalition, to help these brutalized people out. Please let’s bond together, and plan a route for their path to survival.
