Children
Safety of a life!!!
In Gaza's streets, where children play,
Amidst the chaos and disarray.
Their laughter mingles with the sound,
Of conflict's tears upon the ground.
Innocence and youth combined,
Yet troubled times have left behind.
A legacy of pain and woe,
In every tear, the world must know.
These children, brave in times of strife,
Know not the safety of a life.
With every dawn, they face the fear,
Of a reality far from clear.
In Gaza's heart, they seek the light,
Amidst the darkness, endless night.
Their dreams, like stars, may seem so far,
Yet still, they reach for what they are.
Let's mend the wounds, let's dry each tear,
Bring hope and peace, dispel the fear.
For Gaza's children, let us stand,
Together, reach for a helping hand.
Innocence and courage intertwined,
In Gaza's story, may love be defined.
With every child, a chance to heal,
A brighter future, let us all reveal.

I don't understand the need for war and would never understand it. Your poem was so heartbreaking!
