RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: GAZA
The Occupation
They are starving in Gaza
The children eat birdseed
The siege is in place
A blockade of all needs
The Israeli Occupation
Has captured the Strip
A complete subjugation
The crack of a whip
We pretend it’s not real
The world turns away
A spin of the wheel
There’s no more to say
But if you’re living in Gaza
You have no choice
The bombs keep on falling
Drowning out your voice
Will no one bear witness
To the crimes of this war?
We’ve turned out the lights
We’ve bolted the door
