A glint of steel in the sky
 little ones cry
iron bombs fall on Gaza
from a merciless sky
taking yet another child
the word in the Western media
is "self defense."

Too many funerals
for the little ones
who are bombed
while on the swings
taken away to hospitals
where they are bombed again
in "self-defense."
They are bombed
in safe shelters
on the beach
in their little rooms
toys scattered
little bodies ripped
by shrapnel
crying
weepings
in a small place
and the world
blames them
crying self-defense
Israeli Psychopaths
lets be clear
utter
collateral damage
utter “terrorists"
Modern day
Apartheid
marches the streets
check points
tank shells
smart bombs
shoot everything that moves
in this
Slaughter of the Innocents.

if I only

If I only
if we only
could save the children
their mothers
the fathers,
the sisters, brothers, aunts and uncles;
Too Many Funerals
Gaza cries
Gaza weeps
in this latter-day version
of give me liberty
or give me death.
Now it is Death Shrouded
stalking the streets
and the dead cry out
from their too short graves:
One day
One day
One day
Liberty.

 I weep for all in insane wars
but especially for the children.
