Desperate Breaths

The once fertile strip
lays more barren than
her lifeless inhabitants.
Retaliation is condemned by our oppressors.
Desperate breaths silence the
hypocrisy of all bystanders.
We will not stand by the unconditional
butchering of mothers and daughters and sons.
“The most humane” amongst us
trample the flag once hoisted in peace.
White stained red, massacre by massacre
Until none remain.
Activism is squandered by politicians with more
haste than the orphan seeking
shelter from the carpet
of scorched earth.
Fight till your last breath,
and continue even after that.
Each martyr strengthens our cause.
None shall stand in the way of
the liberation of our brothers
and sisters trapped between the
river and the sea.
