Bitter Reality (For Gaza) Poem by Dana Amer

Day after day& year after year
everything happens all over again,
you can tell its the same fear
48,67 or 09 they all had the same pain.

Innocent people killed
without any mercy,
no difference between a woman or a child
all facing the same destiny.

Tears were cried
but no one to wipe them,
blood have shed
& no one to stop them.

What if this kid was your son? !
or that girl was your friend? !
wouldn't you break down
& think that this is the end? !

So how about facing this everyday? !
& sadness being a part if who you are,
wouldn't this make you think of a way
to make who did this to you pay? !

Are our feelings dead?
where is our unity?
there is no need for more people to get killed
to let us figure out the reality! ! !
