The Killings of Gaza
The blood flowing on the ground
The world takes its shape in a new mould
By the sound the birds flew away quickly to the safe
The sky became so gloomy
The shiny morning turned into smoky brown
The lightning in the darkness of night shattered down
The children, the women, the young and the old
The devastated area
Oh! Pathetic deaths for whom are you call us?
No reply without a long sigh
Wildfire is running in place of humanity
Sorrows, sufferings, torture and deaths happening in everyday life
It’s as if like the hereditary wealth
From the other side of the spot we see, hear and get scared
As the condition for the deer in the rush in front of a hungry tiger
Nothing to do without feeling hatred for the killers
On the other side sympathized with the people in Gaza
The storm is blowing, the world moving in the cyclone
‘To be or not to be – that is the question’
We, all stand in the puzzling and haggling queue
But justice never goes injustice
Time will take us to face the judge
And the victims must enter into their mirthful goal
Though out of sight,
Every day in the sprouting green fields
Where fresh oxygen makes our veins flow clean
And in the twinkling sky
They are laughing and singing the songs of joy!
How sweet they dream in sleep!
How would they lead their lives tomorrow?
Can we imagine?
