GAZA Today: Would You Turn Your Back.

(Harmony-Join Book 4)

Everyone knows what Gaza is. A strip of land in the Middle East, being vociferously fought over.

I don't want to get into the Politics of it, but at least a brush with it is unavoidable if you attempt

any kind of dialogue or description of the occurrences that are happening there - truly awful.

This poem is a short one, and keeps to the suffering of its people, and not delving too much into sides

of the Political spectrum.

I think the suffering in a modern day scenario with instant and graphic footage of this one-sided war

is horrific.

Regardless of who did what to who, and who did it first etc, it should be focused on the humanitarian side

in any conflict lest we lose sight of what we maybe fighting for - I think the focus on humanity has been totally

lost.

Are we to Turn Our Back on these people. The West should push for extreme Sanctions to reign in the seemingly

unstoppable gungho aggression of the combatants - There is a Geneva convention you know.

It can only mean something if it is enforced...

Footnote: This Poem is all about the kids in this conflict. Whose right and whose wrong, shouldn't come into it

on the humanitarian field of view.
