Among intense emotion
States of confusion,
Terror, loss and destruction
Blowing wishes to the wind,
I try to disengage with the bullshit.
Release some rays of hope,
Where the bombs keep falling
As December stamps with fury,
People struggling to stay alive
Smiles turning into rivers of tears,
Premature babies encased in blood
After being rescued from under rubble,.
In arms of their mothers found dead
Murdered by targeted explosions,
While some falsely talk of peace
Holding daggers in hand,
In the shadows of night
Blurred moments of yesterday,
Paint a canvas of thoughts
Release ardent words of yearning,
Bringing colour and light
Into a greying twisted world,
As dreams keep faltering
Try to soften these days of rage,
Reeling in the forces of love
Beyond these violent times,
Calling for a permanent Ceasefire
An end to fear, siege and occupation,
It's time to start anew, change the tide
Allowing amity to mend wounded souls.
