Supernova Massacre

 RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GLOBAL POLITICS


Supernova Massacre

 

A celebration of culture and music

In the desert on the border of Gaza

Those in attendance were not soldiers

They were not warriors or politicians

They were young people looking for fun

Looking to forget a world of hatred

A world of violence and war

 

Hamas chose to attack the festival

Hamas chose to kill and capture civilians

Hundreds lost their lives

Hundreds will never see tomorrow

Hundreds will long be mourned

A river of endless sorrow

 

You cannot massacre innocent civilians

And still proclaim your righteousness

You can no longer ask the world’s sympathy

For your cause and plight

You have lost your cause

You have betrayed your people

You have unleashed a chain of endless

Retribution, violence on violence

You have become what you despise

What all civilized people despise

A killer of innocence
