We see the horizon,
They get flames burning down,
We listen to the birds chirping,
Why do they hear bomb sounds?
Why do we set alarms?
And they don’t sleep at night,
Why do our children go to school?
And theirs have to fight,
Why do we cry tears?
And they cry blood,
What vision do we have?
All the eyes are shut,
Why do we have shelter?
While they are trying to hide,
Why do we get to live?
When they are dying with smiles,
Why do we get heard?
When they are screaming in pain,
What made us so heartless?
The world has lost its shame

The world has lost its shame
Palestinians face deep suffering from living under occupation and a blockade. They struggle with losing their homes, limited movement, and shortages of basic supplies, all while holding on to hope for a better future. Their pain is often ignored as the world remains silent, not doing anything to help. This lack of attention makes their difficult situation even worse and leaves their dreams for peace and justice uncertain.
