Thoughts on Gaza

Hell is brewing witches potion 

Of innocent blood, fathers become

Exponential furies, avenging 

Angels of  accumulated

Atrocities. 


Mothers have forgotten why 

They pushed babies out of wombs, 

Risking death...The daisy chain of 

War, blood petals drip fresh tears

On our man made altars of gore.

Eerie is earth sorrow drenched, with  

Stench of casualties, hate and death.

The world dismissive, calls it price

Of human territorial instincts 

Most predatory, inhuman greed.

Bays for baptism of land drowned 

In human blood.

 

Its collateral is colder than graves unmade

Building deadliest wailing walls of memory.


Mothers evict your own mental borders,

To keep precious vials of blood intact 

March out of  "Promised Lands" 

In most Holy exodus...


Someday, the children will thank you 

Somewhere, anywhere is better, than to 

Die as human shields,  be outcasts 

On deserts, on mothers breast 

Her manna of compassion is grace 

Wisdom

Not surrender.


Someday to not be chosen ones

To refuse to be sacrificial lambs 

On bloodied altars of rights ,

Human right to live in peace uphold.


Leave killing fields, be bold.

This is no treason to ancestors or God

For war gods, cannot be appeased.
