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 . . .

Why are you shooting rockets at us Why do you want to push us into the sea Why don't you want us to survive We die Just like you It is that the media you see and hear Refuse to acknowledge that fact What are you shooting rockets at us
