Gaza

I have seen so much

And heard so much

To believe that a part of hell

Has moved to Earth

Not only with the stench of burning flesh, 

Flames screams and cries

Invocations and curses

But also with the demons

Who in the underworld left

Their bestial forms

Their tails horns  fangs

claws and black wings

But with them they brought

Their wickedness

You can read in their disturbing eyes

Their evil smiles and

Their way of rejoicing 

Over the lifeless bodies of innocents

The demons disguise themselves 

In human form, 

Which also carries the scent of sulfur. 

One of them loves the carnival 

And wears the clothes of Francis. 

Who knows if it’s out of scorn or madness 

But the dead children in Gaza 

Will rise like angels

With  white wings 

And be welcomed in God’s presence, 

While on Earth 

In a land destroyed 

By hate and greed, 

The memory of their bloody faces 

Will haunt the nights 

Colouring with nightmares 

The dreams of those demons.

And if by chance

Or for unknown reasons 

They’ll not receive 

The proper punishment on Earth, 

They will undoubtedly have a ticket 

To the most fiery of hellish circles.
