Israel- Gaza - Lebanon Conflict - How Many More? Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

O Israel,
how many more buildings will collapse
how many more will die?

how many more explosions will occur
how many more will run?

how many more will be homeless
how many more will be endure sleepless nights?

how many more will be hungry
how many more will bear the sufferings?

how many more will get injured
how many more will rush to hospitals?

how many more will fight to survive
how many more will be gasping for breath?

how many more children will be orphans
how many more people will be refugees?

how many more sons and daughters will die everyday
how many more mothers will cry?

how many more days will the war go on
how many more eyes will be filled with tears?

how many more sunsets will be crimson
how many more will be buried with inconsolable grief?

how many more will be born to fight
how many more will seek vengeance?

how many more will you silence
how many more will you target?

how many more will walk and live in fatigue
how many more will never wake up to see the sunrise?
