Gaza in tears

NafisaSB

Gaza in tears

Are journalists stoking fears

Or are they victims too

Of the mighty IDF crew ?

 

The Al Jazeera crew too is there

Tight in the midst of the battle

Capturing all the havoc

And the way the houses rattle

 

Many are shocked to the core

And pray there is no more –

But the calamity remains

And the hearts bear the pains

 

A future generation mowed down

And the world just reacts with a frown

Casualties rise by the day

As the mighty cannot be kept at bay

 

The outlook is grim

And filled with sorrow

God alone knows

What will come on the morrow

    And so it goes with all wars.... of which there appear to be a never ending succession.

      yes. its a sad state of affairs that before one conflict is solved, another begins. .and then there are also some unending border tensions, as with our country, and our neighbors..Let's hope 2024 brings some sanity and relief
