He called her The soul of his soul Child in arms Joyfulness overflowing Laid crumpled upon the earth Ash filled  hair Dust covered face Guns and bombs Destruction We call ourselves the human race We watch We see We witness We cry We march All whilst they die Now Soul meets soul Heavens cry When gentle men lay down to die Heart breaks With each vision Blood on hands of politicians Complicit in war They will one day Meet their maker What will they tell When they are turned away Direction travelling straight to hell And we moan about the weather And the tax rising We moan about Christmas And the money we’re spending All whilst their children are dying Children pray in Gaza They pray and they play No schools No hospitals No food Family they lost All they had And I share about Geniside Onto my media 1 like 1 heart 1 tearful emoji 1 angry face at a push When did we get so good at this So good at looking the other way We learnt about ****** in school and yet we would of let that go if we had witnessed it We would of turned our faces and our backs Why do people not want to talk about this ?  to make this right ? It doesn’t concern them I get it … Or do I ?
