Dr. Vandana Sharma Poet Free verse

The Children of Gaza

Why the society doesn’t speak about

The persecuted children of Hindus in Pakistan
The persecuted children of Hindus in Bangladesh
The persecuted children of Sikhs in Afganistan
The persecuted children of Christians in Islamic state
The persecuted children of Yazidis in Iraq
The persecuted children of Persians in Iran
The persecuted children of Druze in Syria

The world doesn’t revolve around Gaza
Laced with fake news and misinformation
Jihadis play the victim-card with children on the pedestal of falsification

So, wake up world
And don’t get twirled
In the propaganda of false whirlwind
