Israel-Palestine War

The end of reason

Israel-Palestine War

They have bombs in Israel

Which they throw from the skies

Poor old Palestinians subhuman

Let them all die.

And they said the Palestinians are cruel

They attacked in the night

But Israel burns down towns

It ain’t a pleasant sight.

And the war continues

Palestinians without food

Water is scarce

The streets their refuge.

And medicines the Palestinians have none

Even doctors die

Hospitals shelled by guns

No help comes by.

And homeless and orphaned

Children cry

Their mothers gunned down

They live in pig sties.

But Palestinians aren’t human

Just a filthy race

Their tears remind us

Of the fascist state.

And Israel says we shall never stop

Until all of the them are dead

When someone asks what kids have done

They say it’s a secret of the state.

And the terror spreads

In response to terror they say

But who is guilty

Certainly not babies who were born yesterday.

And the firing continues

Bombs go off

Hospitals and houses

Turned into dust.

But Israelis say we defend

But from what?

Did the children fire rockets and guns?

Oh, says Israel they fired first.

And those who came in

On gliders and foot

Do their children deserve to die

Filth under your boots.

But the brutal war continues

No end, no peace in sight

How many innocents must die

Before infants and toddlers lose the fight.
