RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GAZA
Killing Children in Gaza
Omar will never grow old
Omar will never go to school
He will never find a girl
He will never be married
He will never have a job
He will never have a child
He will never cross a border
Not even his own
Omar was a child in Gaza
That was his only crime
To live as a child in Gaza
Is to die without warning
A missile drops from the sky
Falls where Omar lay sleeping
Omar was not a soldier
He was not a foreign terrorist
He was not a criminal
He was not a threat to Israel
He was not a hateful being
He was a child
He was a child who is no more.
