The Poem: Verses from Gaza

Shattered dreams, unheard cries, broken homes, unconsidered plight,

Yet Gaza stands strong, unwavering in faith's guiding light.

( Sabreen Parray )

Today I awoke, smoke fills the air,

Yearning for a day free from sorrow and despair.

( Ahmed Rahim )

Oh World, can't you see the pain we bear?

Must lives be lost for you to truly care?

( Ahmed Rahim )

Smiling in a bit of rain, treasure in pain.

Will the blood wash away?

( Elena Lopez )

Hoarse-voiced we beckon Peace to the burning sea,

Even when flames catch skin, we plead: Peace, swim free.

( Katleho Shoro )
