For Mothers To Weep

It is better to fight 
Than to live like this
So attack Israel 
For us we will persist

So rockets rain down
And civilians die
As Hamas hunts down people
As death to them is the cry

The sky is lit up again
As the Israelis retaliate 
And it is for mothers weep
For death in a war is up to fate

So again we wonder about peace
On a planet where war is complete
And the only way forward for some
Is at the point of gun in terrorist deceit.

Powerful. Important to speak and so sad how mother's tears seem to grow even embolden the evil doers.
