Blood Nights

(It's really hard to ignore the videos of the injured kids... It really is heart wrenching) 

. 


And then the night turned red
And screams were heard
of kids painted in blood 
And a tiny hand waved
From beneath a wrecked home

Kids with names printed on their wrists 
Crying for mothers in refuge camps, 
Some bathed in blood on hospital beds
That too gets bombed 

Now no water, no food, even the air is poison 
Though once upon a time, it was a house
But got stolen in bright day light
My hearts crys for you, o' Palestine
