We Are Responsible

We Are Responsible Sandy Hook, so many children murdered, I saw Obama cry. Gaza today hundred of children murdered blown into the air like ragdolls, broken limbs empty eyes; does Obama cry today? Brothers can you spare a tear so easily spilt when watching a film on TV, for the children of Gaza? Or are you sinking into apathy, blaming the victims? This ghetto revolt, this time we cannot say “We didn´t know,” wringing our damp hands finding excuses, deflecting the cause of this slaughter, but to no avail, we are responsible! What happens in Gaza now will toll far into the future and demand its exact retribution.
