Gaza

It struggles to stand there
Bombs falling around
Crescendo’s of dust fires
Continue to pound
Victims lie bleeding
Under rubble and brick
A vile fascination for some
And the sick
Lie still in the hospital
Breaths streaming away
Agony straining
All through the day
Bullets a flying
Tanks rumble too
Blood lust is evident
The true death of you

Gaza is broken
Scars everywhere
Smoke ever rising
So many share
Children lie broken
Twisted with gore
Frightening scenes
Who could wish for more

The acceptance of evil
Darkness on high
So many angels seemingly die
The smell of the rotting
Where rats seem to be
Mothers and fathers
Lie tragically
