Gaza Palestinians - How Long Will Their Endurance Last? Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

Live with the war
live with the brutality
live with the cruelty?

Walk with the worries
walk with the anxieties
walk with the realities?

Run with the fears
run with the injuries
run with the distress?

Shout with the agony
shout with the pain
shout with the sufferings?

Breathe with the torment
breathe with the torture
breathe with the troubles?

Die with the gunshots
die with the bomb blasts
die with the genocide?

Cry with the tears
cry with the grief
cry with the tragedies?

Pray with the solace
pray with the unity
pray with the resilience?

Sleep with the calmness
sleep with the gratitude
sleep with the aliveness?

How long will they run
how long will they die
how long will they cry?

How long will they be homeless
how long will they starve
how long will they survive?

Children, women, their families
the old, the young, the soldiers
how long will their endurance last?
