People from all nations running for Their Lives, Pursued by Hamas. That day 1,200 were slaughtered. International hostages died! Few live ones do remain. I do not even know what day this is! Nor month, or even, what year! For I live each day within a clock. Whose only sound ticks away endless,fear! I have no mirror to see my young face, Just locked in a room by mad barbarians, Absent are they, of a trace of the human race . My family, all my friends, taken from my life.. My treatment, hardly an ounce, humanitarian! I assume I am probably still, just twenty four.. I was dragged in bloody violence from the “Nova Concert for Peace” dance floor! By inhumane, brutish men, who dragged me across my country’s fertile fieds! They hit and assaulted me, in a car because I fought, and no, I would not yield! I heard the screams of death, the gunshots, unbearable! I hear them still, they shake the memories, so potent! that the necrotic plant in my window sill, sways.! No sun, no blue sky, do I see, not one friend to hug me? Window boarded up, and slices of bread a day …are three! Animals, so-called men, blindfold me, and use me for their everyday, multiple times, I weep! They try to make me cry each day, while I try to sleep. But being an Israeli woman, a Sabra, with a strong will! This in one pleasure they steal, u do my best, may they not fulfill! I can only dream that your own country backs Israel! I beg you to hear my voice, to please pray for me! You have the free voice to back my country, to set me free. I am a prisoner, a hostage, with no family, friends or choice. Can you~yes, you~honor my Jewish voice? Shalom~ Israeli hostage in Gaza

The leaders of the United Nations condemn Israel but never the perpetrators of evil Hamas.

Victor.,of course not, neither of has Biden oh is he running the United States like a poisonous wrecking ball. You know what happened here today with Trump.. don’t think that jury was not bought. The judge should’ve worn a half that said Biden on top. We are a country that is becoming a banana republic fast, I heard some bad news. Democrats are planning.. like a police state here very soon. And create another Covid so that nobody can vote. They lost their minds Victor, I am glad the pier sank in Gaza. Hamas and UNWRA are in bed together.. the UN sucks they vote against Israel, always.

I'm glad you wrote this. Does anyone hear? Has our culture hardened from too much fantasy? I think we are out of touch. Hamas prisoners kept in comfort in Israel; Israeli citizens, yes citizens, reliving the holocaust.

Wakey, Wakey, hostages get three pieces of bread a day. Tell me that you could live on three pieces of bread a day since October 7. No wonder many are dead.. did you read my poem? They are kept in a room. They get raped three times a day by different people who want to have at it, NO contact with family since oct 7 th, Some Will be to sold slavery to marry a Muslim. Jews are considered pigs in the Middle East and they treated as such.. nothing comfortable about being a hostage, .Oct 7 was a pogrom, You know they kill babies in microwaves, don’t you?? Yes, a Holocaust supported by the United Nations, which by the way has close ties to hamas . No wonder UN or United Nazis are giving killers a state! I do not want the Palestinians moving here..Biden does these are not humanitarians but killatarians , the world is not aware… USA news does not tell the truth..thank you. Pangie Romios

Dear Pangie, Your poem is deeply moving and haunting. It really captures the terror and anguish in such a raw, powerful way. Your heartfelt words bring the reader right into the narrator's pain and resilience. It’s a poignant, heartbreaking of the human cost of conflict. Your voice is strong and necessary—thank you for sharing this powerful piece. - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Dear Daniel… I really felt like a hostage in a room alone and other things happening to me. So I’m glad that you got the message.. apparently it still didn’t get enough peoples heads newly at the UN. I looked at some charts yesterday and it is one of the biggest massacre of a lifetime.. We had babies and microwaves babies killed on top of those children, blown up and safe roomss.. And the other goal, the UN destroy Israel. Are they going to hunt down every Jew on the planet? Really are sick in the head . If they can’t see murder, then reward them with state? I hope more people hold. They remember the man who wants to get rid of Israel in the oval office oval office! Out to destroy not only Israel, but the USA. Daniel is very sad.. thank you. Pangie Romios

A powerful poem for today. The pro Hamas terrorist rhetoric is nauseating. We must remember the hostages. All of them. Biden won’t even fight for the five Americans! Much less for the others. I appreciate you taking the time to pen this poem.

Is Biden American? I dont know. He sure has some very strange bedfellows! He wont stand up for America, but he will support the zany bedbugs in suits, at the U,N…barf! Just great at throwing our hard earned money to people who can earn their own and nations with reputations of a big zero. Gee, he reminds me and his cabinet of Seargeant Peppers lonely hearts club band.lol. Pangie Romios

Thanks for posting this, P!... In our world of denial, the Palestinian-elected Hamas-Nazi 'government' of Gaza plots terror attacks to murder and maim, rape and roast, bludgeon and burn Israeli civilians ---- and when Israel fights back, the world shouts 'Ceasefire,' 'Intifida' and 'Palestine will be free.' Universities celebrate the terrorists as heroes and liberators. The world recognizes their imminent declaration of statehood. What could go wrong with a Hamas/PA-led Palestinian state?! Again, many thanks, Gershon

Very clearly stated, so manydo not understand what you said!Worse, the countries in Europe abandoning Israel! These same people claim to be Christians. They forget Christ was not born in Ireland? Yet Ireland was the first to give a thumbs down in supporting Israel. Ireland is Elena asked me where I live not Christian anymore. I didnt know. I dont understand why Israel can’t be left alone and respected.They are a nation as most as the UK or we are. But I am aware of who wishes to take over the world.. And Nobody is safe, from massacre by the barbarians at the gate. You know what I mean. Pangie Romios.

So many countries are forgetting and sidestepping the hostages in Gaza, my own included, (not in my name) those Hamas/Iran animals cowards you mention have purposely embedded and hide themselves behind women and children, endangering their lives, they could not care less about the Palestinians, Hamas/Iran committed the initial atrocity knowing full well Israel’s response, I don’t want to see one more person killed in this war, but am realistic enough to know many more will die hostages included! I am not Jewish or religious, but I will call a spade a spade, cheers David

I learn a lot from Israel Radio! The horrors of Oct 7th, people are cluess,how these animals beheaded many after raping them. These are womemn like other poets here, Do poeys comprehend that? I see their pictures online, bodies so mutilated it took months to identify,the test they yook as dead! I just assmed I was way old.) But I think these are disgusting brutes, holding on to dead bodies like poker chips..Swine from the word, go! Evil incarnarte. Pangie Romios

I’m pretty sure you’re not twice my age Pangie, that’s almost impossible lol! But you are a very capable poet nonetheless who pens honestly on this particular Middle Eastern issue, I know exactly what those cowards have done and are doing to those poor innocent hostages they kidnapped at Nova festival, and surrounding area, your poem is their forgotten voice of that I have no doubt, and an excellent piece, will fave now I’ve had another couple of reads!

Heloo, David, wonderful to see you, i am probably twice your age. And death and wars seem to be endless. Mans cruelty to man, is like a river that takes many;”your country , mine.Millions gone! I heard more today about the murdered at the concert~7 year old girls, and boys too. One need not be a Jew. These animals rape women and men.more than once a day,. This was not an army at nova of one army against another army. It was as I said, antedeluvian treacherists chopping off heads, removing limbs, there is a land mass of 5 million miles of them, and 8,000 only in.Israel. An the blokes at the UN, nuttier than Hamas. There seems to be a fascination with killing, David..or is it power? You input is greatly appreciated, Pangie Romios

Oh, how monumentous and a treasure of a voice-poem for the Israeli hostage victims who cannot speak for themselves. This should become POTD. Their humanity cries out for justice. Our hearts are broken. Thank you, dear Pangie, for being one of their voices. Hashem's blessings ~ xoxx

Sorry this was not the POTD you hoped it to be, that is OK. This is the type of people are too afraid to write because they think something political is automatically evil.. so I going in not gonna be a POtD. I could’ve written a limerick and had a better chance, but I value the world more than a trophy or a POTD. I did not write it for my own.. Smile, Pangie

I am fortunate to know a poetess like you who is aware of the horrors the Israelis are going though,further you care! Most people do notIf I can make anothrer woman or man care about israel.. i’d be happy.! The savagery of Oct 7th, is hidden by the Far Left press. I am here to turn on the light. Hitler got to power by murder and lies…this is my chance to speak for the voiceless. To stop sitting on my hands,Pangite Romios thank you
