Children of Gaza & Palestine
I come
across blue skies, a cool morning breeze
Birds sing
their praise, the trees sway with ease
My mind
wanders, I increase in curiosity,
What do
children of Gaza & Palestine
Their cloudless
skies coloured a lifeless grey
The birds
flew off & took their songs away
The ever
present stench of death, and physical abuse endured
Food and water,
luxuries never fully stored.
I walk
across my street and see a branch on the ground,
My mind
plays back like a film
Foot &
branch create a crack sound,
I’m
reminded that precious olive trees that saw generations of life
are
crushed by Israeli soldiers in cruel swipes.
Yet, still
their heads are held high
though
they may suffer and cry,
looking no
less than dignified
soon
honour will arrive,
from their
Lord most high
Peace once
again to be given,
To the
children of Gaza and Palestine

A beautiful poem! The flow and pace was great, although the final stanza seemed slightly out of synch.
