In the ruins of where her children once played
Even the thoughts of laughter have decayed
Her heart is broken, her homeland is charred
Her flesh is wounded, her spirit is scarred
You see the agony, you hear the cries
But look away while her whole nation dies

Children, with eyes too dead to see the day
Stare thru the barbed wire while hope slips away
Pallor paints their lips, desiccated, dry
& starvation stifles their need to cry
Still, bombs hail down until the whole earth shakes
Justice stalls as every ♡ that beats breaks
#Poetry #vss365 #FreePalestine

Swiss artist Yael Jamina painted a poignant mural to honour thousands of children suffering and killed during the ongoing genocide of Palestinians.

A peace dove, over a red painted background, cries tears of blood. Text on its body reads: Be silent when children sleep, not when they die.

Our ♡s are torn apart
By the weight of ur grief.
Pain has consumed our minds.
We dwell in disbelief
At how this vile world
Can remain silent, still—
& let ur murderers
With impunity kill.
Our souls, sutured to urs
In solidarity,
Cry out as u endure
Monstrous barbarity.

#Gaza #Genocide #FreePalestine

A poem by OceanOfDreams about the atrocities inflicted on Palestinians and how the hypocritically depraved world continues to look away:

Crimes against humanity

Fear, pain, famine, bullets and bombs
Echo elegies under palms
No justice wakes, no mercy speaks
As tears carve down the children’s cheeks

While fathers dig through bloody clay
To find each light that slipped away
Wounded moms cling to cloth and thread
Of the flag wrapped around their dead

Where is your heart?

꒰ა Innocents ໒꒱

Your tears, like bullets,
Have rained on my soul
Caused ruination
Beyond my control

I am heartsore

While remorselessly
Mankind is hostile,
With every breath, I
Pray to see you smile

Children of war

A human is a human—no matter the language, race, or religion.

What if you & your family were hurting, everyone watched, but no one cared?

Do not look away!

A human is a human—no matter the language, race, or religion.

What if you and your family were hurting, everyone watched, but no one cared?

A poem by OceanOfDreams:

While killing the host, guests speak of rights
In screams of innocents, find delights
They dance over starved bones of others
Surrounded by mourning of mothers
Karma will come, all tyrants shall learn
Peace, to its thieves, would never return
Dreams built upon foundation of lies
Always collapse before liars’ eyes
A land that with children’s blood is signed
As “holy”, can not be redefined

A quote by Albert Einstein:

"If I Were to Remain Silent, I'd Be Guilty of Complicity."

I walked thru hell, thru fire & rain
Till Mercy met my deepest pain
Now, each breath is a hosanna
For the gift of His nirvana

Once a lost soul, a lamb He found
To the best shepherd I am bound
By Him, my chains are torn & gone
In Christ alone, I journey on

Where children were slain along with their dreams
The sky shall forever echo their screams
Guns, bombs and lies can not erase the truth
Gaslighting does not blindfold the world’s youth
Whether free, stolen, or drowning in flame
Palestine will remain that country’s name

Dreams are newsletters
The psyche receives
Coded messages
A person perceives

Of what are not seen
By eyes, while awake
And journeys in which
The spirits partake
