we chose to hide
from the term genocide
but in a world gone mad
we turn our heads away
into dismal dismay
future generations
will look on with eyes of damnation
and righteous indignation
damning people and countries complicity
in simplicity
and brutal bloodshed
Vicious violence
while the media spin a web of silence
the catches people like flies in a web
only entertaining the perception of perpetrators having the right to protect themselves instead
and yet we are the ones who live in the land of the blind
and see
the ones who can see this conflict for the genocide it is
Gaza I stand in this vigil
for your people
and can’t bear the moans of the dead and dying
the children crying from losing limbs
and family
Are we the ones the only ones who give a damn really?
this is my last prayer and request
that even in your ashes we will not rest
we will bring about peace and a resolution
before it’s too late…
