The Guardian

The Guardian

A glittering gig for Gaza
must have been great for the participants
From the middle drawer came
stars given a chance to gloriously dress
music, dance, and even poetry read 
dramatic words, suitable attire, and
Don't forget how they applaud themselves
One does not like to spoil the party
But what difference does it make so late
in the day with a hundred thousand 
dead children under ruins.
One wonders if the newspaper that
reported this feast, has a sense of shame
