I share your pain friends <br />Though we be from different lands <br />Speaking different tongues <br />Living different lives <br />I feel your pain. <br /> <br />Your lives like mine; ours <br />Are short, brutish and unceremonious <br />We make an entrance into their world <br />Perform a short play that our lives are <br />Then exit- just like that! <br />Our genesis is our end. <br /> <br />The media brings your stories <br />Grotesque, full of your anguish <br />O! The bombs and shells <br />Smoke you out, choke the sky; bluish <br /> <br />You must have heard of us <br />How our kind of bombs and shells <br />Of hunger, disease and ignorance <br />Promote us to vague glory <br />At ages so tender. <br /> <br />No matter your pain <br />Keep your head high <br />You are human beings <br />Owing none an apology <br />Of having been born <br />You have a right to be <br />And so do we <br />Stand your ground!<br /><br />kelvin karani<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-the-children-of-gaza/
