Gaza (Help).

GAZA (HELP).

 

Every day I sit, listen, wonder at the old television screen.

I always feel that I cannot comprehend what I have just seen.

A total country being wiped out, bombed to the ground.

Horrific evil scenes of so-called humanity lying all around

 

It feels like I am watching live horror movies on the telly.

How we are constantly told this is revenge for all Israelis

People being herded up like diseased cattle to a safer place.

The real help they need, bombs stopping there\'s not a trace.

 

Once arriving at the designated location of so-called safety

They cannot get out because they have locked all the gates.

Waiting in their thousands to starve or be bombed to death.

Ceasefire is needed but Israel and Hamas deny all requests.

 

If anyone survives this will lead to an even more horrific war

They will breed have more hatred and anger than ever before.

But as the massacre happens before the world\'s half shut eyes

I don’t get why the free world stands resolutely by Israel side.

 

As usual we all hear politicians around the world talk the talk.

Somehow, we find no one is brave enough to walk the walk.

It’s a fact, no bad words can be said about the invading nation.

That would be anti-Semitic, then it’s you the headline making.

 

Every time I see Netanyahu ever increasing round smug face,

I find myself asking where the humanity is in the human race.

We are all raised and taught two wrongs don’t ever make a right

That according to God himself, no man should ever take a life.

 

Israel is one of the most religious countries in the modern world

They remain very happy watching the horrors continue to unfold

Revenge has been taken for the horrors they have already faced

The agenda has changed; you can see it in that round smug face.

 

Tens of thousands of innocent people murdered in their homes

Children dying daily in what was once the land they were born

What happened to the phrase, we should turn the other cheek

I must ask the question, how the hell can this end in peace.
