The Poem: Verses from Gaza
The sky unfurls a flag, not blue and white,
But crimson hues, a somber blend of day and night.
( Sarah Godsell )
Among the ruins, the wind whispers their names,
And for a moment, their spirits rise, playing eternal games.
( Kasia Morris )
Children stand in the rubble, faces stained with blood and tears,
Yet find joy in the smallest places, conquering their fears.
( Rasmika Naidu )
End the violence, let peace be revealed,
Embrace unity, let love be unconcealed.
( Gary Brennan )
Smiling face in the gentle rain, a treasure found amidst the pain,
Will the crimson tide cleanse the stains, and peace in Gaza finally reign?
( Elena Lopez )
In the gentle rain, a smile's embrace, a treasure found amidst the pain,
Will the crimson tide cleanse the stains, and bring peace to Gaza's domain?
( Elena Lopez )
A city of sorrow below,
Shielded by hope's eternal glow.
( Iam T. Ruth )
Gaza, a place of pain and strife,
Yet still, a glimmer of hope in life.
( Auguste Barrios )
O Gaza! Your children's blood flows free,
In the face of injustice, victory you shall see.
