Six thousand children
Murdered oh dear
Israel the odious
Spreader of fear
Haggard and forbidding
Loathsome to me
Their target was hamas
But seemingly
They are killing the kids
Shooting them dead
Bombing the life out of children
In stead
Liars personified
That’s what they are
Karma will grab them
Missiles from far
Tearing down houses
Rubble and dust
Move to the south
Then bomb them they must
Follow the women and children
Who flee
And bomb them, and destroy them
Hideosity
It’s obscene to imagine
Babies are killed
Children left broken
So much blood spilled
The streets full of death
So much brashness and shame
Inimical loathing
Just part of the game.
