Welcome To Freedom (Political Piece)

*** First and foremost, I had to edit this piece a bit because of the profanity in the original version (however, I will follow the rules) This piece was based on several images of children that were shot because of the Israel-Palestinian conflict in the middle east. i do not mean to offend anyone with my work, and if so, I do apologize. I would link the pictures, but I see that's against the rules too. I hope you all enjoy! Bullet's ricochet through babies flesh Blood splattered his age on the pavement Tattooed the mother's hands with the assassin's name Silent cries echoed through Jerusalem As his bones shattered to feces Chest burns as the last breath of innocence is inhaled Dusting his ashes through the hills of Bethlehem Through the mist of the familiar laughter coming from the militant vocals Church bells ring and prayers are enchanted Because another infant's longevity to life has failed Killing these children one by one Has become a heroin addiction to the Zionist system Shooting needles injected with bullet wounds and missiles Gunshots travel through the pulmonary chamber Leaving these children to numbness, blind visions and darkness One way tickets to Heaven Where his fellow brothers and sisters greet him at the gate "Welcome to freedom" is inscribed on his name plate He asked God why his time approached so soon And silence lingered it's way through the clouds Before he heard an angel speak aloud "Medical physicians couldn't save you because it was a second too late" And the clouds begun to shed rain storms Angels and children crying, hand in hand While humming warm scriptures from the Qu'ran ********* The reality of this is simple, A different young "terrorist" gunned to their casket Satisfied the militants statistics Now their count is one closer to a million...

This is more than a good write my friend. The evil zionist's are a serious health hazard to men, women and children, and one that is blindly ignored by the media and supported by the western elite. Its such a contradiction that the birth place of so much 'religion' is now the home of so much blood thirst and death. I have seen some of the pictures and they make me cry! Thank you for writing this piece. Much love and respect. lance
