Gaza

Cities bombed,

houses demolished.

People burned,

babies killed. 

Children awake,

empty stomachs.

Every night, every day —

everlasting.

Sun shines and dips,

moon follows in contrast.

What remains is darkness in the ever bright world.

Society turns a blind eye,

belittles the suffering.

Afraid to speak out,

and question the evil.

Silence is heard the loudest.

Silence is the enabler;

silence is complicit.

What remains is darkness in the ever bright world.
