The Children Of Gaza

We watch while we cry 
as children of Gaza die…
deny genocide 
Child of Gaza
thy innocence in ruins…
buried in despair
Gaza’s children 
our hearts a hole carved
as babes of Gaza starve
 just fatality—unacceptable!
Genocide of Palestinian's 
starve the children 
bomb their land 
while we surf the channels
some shall shrug and look away…
this is not my child is what they say

Danny Derden Date: 9/17/2025 9:52:00 AM This is a raw and powerful piece—urgent, mournful, and unflinching. The fragmented structure mirrors the emotional rupture, and the closing line delivers a gut punch. It’s a poetic scream against apathy, and it doesn’t let the reader off easy.

The end of the genocide ( officially declared by the UN's) shall not come on it's own without advocates to cry out for end of genocide! God help us? TyVm, your review is poetic, I enjoyed reading. xXhugs
