This Is Gaza

flesh meets metal fired with deadly intent

children splash in the shallows of an ocean

a woman kneels hugging the gravestone of a loved one

kites are flown high in skies shared with tank shells

the sun shines brightly obscured by the smoke of explosions

there is no normality only the normality of premature death

this is the warring of Man hatred galvanised set loose

all respect all understanding all mercy forgot this is Gaza
