How much positive phosphorus is in a human body?
I hear the facts in tiny whispered scientific snatches
Stated by a biologist named Mr. John T. Roddy
Each of us has enough to make twenty-two hundred matches

(It's really hard to ignore the videos of the injured kids... It really is heart wrenching)
.
And then the night turned red
And screams were heard
of kids painted in blood
And a tiny hand waved
From beneath a wrecked home
Kids with names printed on their wrists
Crying for mothers in refuge camps,
Some bathed in blood on hospital beds
That too gets bombed
Now no water, no food, even the air is poison
Though once upon a time, it was a house
But got stolen in bright day light
My hearts crys for you, o' Palestine

Haunting
How Ye say my name.
Faintly,
Always I hear your voice.
You know me
As well as I used to know Thee.
Only now
Am I remembering
How we are bound eternally.
For Ye are truly
Not who made mine soul,
But the One
Who helped me become
A whole person of my own making.
Our souls always existed,
But it is You
Who have shaped us
Into who our souls are to this day.
From here on forth,
I shall always feel at peace
When I speak Thy name.
Your Divine flame
Shall someday free me
From this cage.
