Sorry For The People Not The Wall
I am sorry for
The people
Not the wall;
The wall is solid
And brick
But people
Are soft
And bleed;
Bleed from BAE bombs
And Elbit
Drones.
They bleed
And they
Starve;
People get shot
When they
Queue
For food.
The wall
Stands silent;
Indifferent to
Suffering,
A defence we
Cannot breach,
Unlike the everyday,
Every hour, every
Minute, every second
Breach of Geneva
Conventions.
So, sorry
Yes sorry
About
The genocide
And the disproportionate
Decades long
Harm
Crushing lives
In Palestine.
Sorry beyond words;
Love Rafah,
Love Gaza,
Love Peace.
