The Children of Gaza

The Children of Gaza are heroes in front of the world,
Helpless and ignored,  starved to death but hopeful.

Enveloped in mass brutality and unbridled cruelty.

Their grandparents , mothers and fathers have been killed.

The Children of Gaza, so adored and dear, Confiscated of their humanity, their childhood stolen away ruthlessly.

The Children of Gaza, their future lost and destroyed,
Is this the world they dreamed..?

Dreams are unfulfilled, thoughts and ideas forever gone in deep sorrow.

In this unreasonable tragic drama, no justification is to be found....!!!!

Yet,the world cries for you. And you shall survive and thrive.
