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?
