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. © Paul Warren Poetry
