Life Through Her Eyes: 40

                                   Burning

Burning people alive

Shooting at children digging trash for food

Killing a man holding a surrendering flagRaping women, and young girls 

Slaughtering pregnant women 

Starving civilians Bombing news reporters and medical staff

Threatening hospitals and schools

Ripping a part homes, supermarkets, bakeries 

Bombarding home buildings
I hope your souls will be twisting in hell 

You and all whose silent witnesses 
There is a special hell for you up there 

Just like the one you’re creating on earth 
hearing the screams on women, watching the horrors of kids, and feeling the pain of old men. 

I somehow wish to be with them, trying to help them or die trying. The rage in me will never mellow 

The rage in me will fuel my revenge 
Don’t wonder, I am threatening 

Don’t question, I am serious 

And don’t you ever doubt

Palestine will be free
