Rafah in flames
My flaming tears cannot douse
the tents aflame.
My burning eyes can never unsee
the corpse of a headless baby.
My beating heart yearns to
give life to those stilled.
And still the killing continues unabated…
My soul shudders in grief
at the horrors visited upon innocents.
My intellect feels stymied, perplexed
by the incredulity of support given to
a genocidal entity.
Can they still claim to be victims?
Stop. Stop. Stop!
Enough killing.
Enough slaughter.
Enough…
