Children of the Gaza

Children of the Gaza, 
How do you strive to survive? 
Children of the Gaza, 
Why aren't your struggles amplified? 
Children of the Gaza, 
Can you hear my voice? 
Children of the Gaza,
Tell me, are you still alive? 

Young souls, being killed everyday,
"Babies aren't meant to be here", they say,
There's a horrifying, terrified sound 2 year olds make,
Hearing the sound of planes. 

Being fed water instead of milk,
Where has your baby formula been? 
Being thrown bombs over your heads,
Is this how months olds are supposed to be fed? 

Voices struck in their throats,
Bloody and hoarse,
Lost in the noise of destruction,
Panic attacks and starved stomachs.

What did they do to deserve,
To be born in the middle of the war?
