Israel. Gaza (Remove filter)
There There,
Famine is dark
On an empty stomach
There there, we are
Listening to you
In the morning
We look around
But there is nothing
Under the burning sun
There there, we are
Thinking of you
We rush to aid
But lose both of you
Shot in the back
I sit here
And my eyes close
There there,
Can you hear us?

A Child in Gaza
Dreaming of leaving
This rock above my
Head
Dreaming of leaving
The thought you are dead
Dreaming of leaving
Going back to when I
played here, running up
the path mama mama
kissing your sweet forehead
now motionless and
cold
Dreaming of leaving
Not wishing to go

And so it goes on…
And so it goes
On
People protest
Against dead bodies
“They’re all terrorists
each and every one”
He says, they say
And so it goes on
The people are lost
Picking through rubble
Discovering their loved ones
Dead clothes
But the truth is being hidden
Sanitised by the news
The killing is not so awful
They plead
And so...

There
There
I’m not there
And neither are you
But we have all danced at festivals
Walked down the streets
Cooked food in our homes
I’m not there
And neither are they now…
