Destitution of humanity

 

 

My children! Oh my children! Peace to you is a foreign name.

Your land is torn apart every minute … every second.

They have made you orphans without any shame.

Justifying their crime … by fatalistic reason.

 

Your everyday life made out of misery.

One can not understand without living it.

Access to water, bread or electricity

Became a struggle … the world ignoring it.

 

They have bombed you to pieces, not even washing your stains.

Along with your lands … your means of living

Building their settlements … covering up your remains.

The world over watching … and not  reacting.

 

In your land you have lost all your rights.

Even to bring life in dignity

Mothers in labor, forbidden to get a pass

Losing their own lives … along with the baby.

 

And the list can go on…

More than often falling in deaf ears

The thought in my mind for so long

The outbreak of my helplessness … and tears.

The world is beautiful.. but the people who walk upon it.... No matter where or who, there is so much tragedy in this world today. You've expressed the thoughts that so many people have. I understand what you're saying and agree. You write with immense passion. Prayer can be the answer, if only more people prayed.
