Children of Gaza

 

Children Of Gaza.

Children are not born with hate.

Children do not decide their fate.

Children do not understand their parent’s views.

Children don't pump up their egos just to make the news.

Children are not aware of the history of the land.

Children are just too young to really understand.

Children do not blow the buildings to the ground.

Children do not torture just to hear the screaming sound.

Children do not have hatred and revenge in their heart.

Children have no interest in ripping their world apart.

Children don't want to watch their mothers and fathers die.

Children don't want the bomb blasts stinging their eyes.

Children don't ask please can I slowly starve to death.

Children only have innocence in their head.

Children want to play out without fear of the bomb.

Children just want to live and mix with everyone.

Children want to know when their food is coming.

Children want to feel their parents loving.

Children want to live in a fun and caring space.

Children want to learn and grow and make the world a better place.

Children just want to be children in a friendly world.

Where stories of hate and fear should never be told

Children are the ones who pay the price of wars.

Children are the ones who are left to heal the scars.

Children are the ones who will have to fight to survive.

As the world watches on all the children slowly die.

Thanks Nataiella.

"Children are not born with hate."... and so, in our interests we must teach them to do so....whatever the cost.

A powerful, &, sadly, true piece of writing
