Listen to Him
Hundala turned his back,-
A Middle Eastern Banksy
Who stood for peace
And got the grave.
If only we could have
seen his face.
This is still going on:
Our families
Dying
At the simple strokes of a pen.
An old lady is crying
Because her grandson is dead.
The old lady is shouting “Allah!”
I wanted to see him growing,
To see him dedicated to a profession,
To see him a husband,
To see him raise his children…
All of this a waste.
Bloody kids lay,
On bloody floors;
Many of them are dead.
Others are dying.
Let’s be honest…
The doctors,
Have no tools
And have no resources
So, they give them at most an hour.
We all pray.
Pray that they will live,
Pray that they will have…
Tomorrow.
But, as they die,
They only leave behind
Scattered leaves from olive trees that
Are soaking in
Blood soaking in soil…
If only there was peace!
