The Angels of Gaza

Only a demon looks at children and feels hate. Only a monster looks at innocence with a spate of envious rancour, then mercilessly shoots to kill, and laughs. They are nothing but brutes! These murdered children go straight to Paradise. Do their killers even feel any remorse, or realise that they blacken their souls with every child they slay? Nay, for their evil runs far too wild. Angels of Gaza, pray for your homeland to be freed, for Mercy, Kindness, Love and Peace to be its creed. Small souls soaring on heavenly wings of wonder, refuse to curse those who your country does plunder. Spread instead your feathery wings wide, cover the pain, lift your little hands in supplication for those who remain to resist the heartless beasts who revel in the madness. Ask the Almighty to intervene, to dispel all the sadness. Your laughter, sweet smiles, bright eyes and dreams, these merciless ogres gleefully turned into screams. You are now free of the shackles and undistilled terror, at peace, enfolded in a loving embrace that lasts forever…
