The Fence Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
The Fence
A million people knock at the fence
at the southern tip of Gaza,
people who've their homes turned to rubbles
and lost everything to the war between
two terrorist outfits, both vying,
trying to snatch their land, their homes.
On the other side of the fence live people
for whom, seemingly, nothing matters.
they live in peace, albeit so fragile
because when sated of Gaza,
the vultures would turn to them,
as they've done it in the past.
The fence at the southern tip of Gaza
the fence does not open its gates to life
for whom death is there in every step.
Great depiction of war and violence. Brilliant presentation as always.
The deplorable condition of the people mentioned in the first stanza deserves strong condemnation. A great blunder to humanity!
2) the UN has become nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the u.s. and its allies. The world will just sit and watch when millions of children and women die a slow demise
The Southern Districts of Gaza are cordoned off by the inhuman terrorist forces of tofn. It is here, about 1.5 million refugees are housed. The tofn terrorists have refused food, water fuel and medicine to the area
