Hailstones of fire Rain down on land Injuring or killing Any child, woman and man That’s in their way
Their path of flight Despite what some say Doesn’t discriminate Just disseminates Both destruction and the oppression Of innocents just wanting to live their lives
They say they’re defending land But how can one defend what’s already occupied And how can the world Stand idly by while this massacre takes place before our eyes
But Palestinians are seen as easy blood by governments worldwide Their causalities simply statistics to who accepts this genocide
And these innocents can’t escape as they’re BLOCKED By a surrounding wall BLOCKED By their Palestinian passports
So they’re stuck where they’re at As the bombs are fired again When will someone condemn this and demand the slaughter ends?
Whoa! That’s powerful.
Powerful. Heartbreaking. Heartfelt. You’re a gifted poet/writer.
Thank you
