i am but one tree

I am but one tree in a forest 

If I am felled it would be of no loss

Except perhaps to that one nest of three

which might tumble down, crumble, wrens within

Light would wash the wound 

where I stood

Raindrops would bless the spot

New growth would sprout

 

I would not be missed

gaza 2

The gaze on Gaza has not faltered

We watch 

children lose 

parents 

siblings 

limbs

lives

hope

We stare 

at children 

with hollowed cheeks

skin stretched over rib cages

starving

while food, water, medicine

wait in trucks 

blocked 

We look on

as they shoot

mothers queuing for bread

for their children

We say 

Don't kill them

But take our money, weapons

How will we face 

our grandchildren 

when they ask 

You watched the children of Gaza die

What did you do?
