A Child's Cry In Gaza

A child's cry in Gaza Why are you killing us? don't you have feelings? is your heart filled with rust? Are you robots, programmed to kill? or is it done by your own will? You don't care what I have to fear you killed my mother but u don't care All you want is our land you claim its yours but you don't understand we've lived here for ages Everyone says we started the war but there's no news of your people dying, so far Where's the bloodshed? its only amongst our people, we see millions of children dying God will help us, we will soon be free This is a test , for this world is not ours We will be rewarded, you will see God's true colors.

This is sad but beautifully written, Maryam. It is terrible that children, or anyone, must suffer. You have done a great job expressing these feelings. Love, Robin

Why ask you about rockets Mr Jerry Boulton What would you do if your land been stolen, And your family imprisoned in a cruel cauldron What would you do Mr Jerry Boulton if instead of food, medicine and water you got showers of phosphorous molten Pretend not Mr Boulton, not to know The truth will raise and soon glow And then you will reap all that ye sow

Yes, I see the map . . . You on the other hand see what you are programmed to see . . . You are probably a nice person . . . Not like me . . . I could never make you understand that the creed of these people is to push the Jews into the sea, they do not even acknowledge their right to EXIST . . .
