Realms of Mercy

The world is very weary,

Feeling so much terrible pain

While injustice is continually denied

To the oppressed people of Palestine,

Witnessing and watching misery

Mourning tears difficult to restrain

The light of humanity dimming

After innocent civilians slain,

Unimaginable horrors inflicted

Apocalyptic landscapes of despair,

A disturbing unending nightmare

Releasing tormented sleep,

Trapped by enshrouding blackness

Of endless restless disquiet,

Catastrophic conditions unfold

Casting darkness all around,

Amid constant bombardment 

Terrorised by Israel Defence Forces,

Without shelter or essentials to survive, 

Over rumpled ground, minds growing numb

Reason and logic with cruelty shattered,

Walking among paths, upon unweildy feet,

Feeling empty inside, unease in stomachs,

Despite the sadness, against all the odds, 

Still steadfastly resist malevolent protrusion 

Refuse to be beaten. find ways to ease affliction,

Remain defiant, repel deliverers of tainted death 

Deny extermination, exhale liberated breath.
