Zzzzz

For you who fund
our pain and grief
Zzzzz is sleep

For us
Zzzzzz is certain death
we are bombed because you sleep

The silence 
a massacre unfolding
Zionists rejoicing

There’s a very strong pro Israel political lobby in the US fighting politicians who object to what Israel is doing. There’s a growing opposition to this war, but in the meantime more people will die.
