Rafah

I hear voices in my head, I touch pain On every television Except the typical symbols Of hegemony Except in a white building Miles and miles away, I touch pain! For every leaf that falls, Swallowed by the burning hell From the mighty birds Of weird names F 16, F 35... I hear these voices, We hear these voices - Miles away, node in unison, "The world rules order" Has exemptions I wake up with a heart hurt Deeply as though resting on safety pins, Miles and miles away - A voice in Downing Street Sings a weird song " A right to defend itself" Uproots 37+ younger leaves daily, Shame officially abolished In the self proclaimed democracies - Is humanity this wicked? Is mainstream media this cheap? Should religion blind us this deep?
