The children of Gaza Keep a chip of ice in your heart.......Graham Greene Every beauty and greatness in this world Is created by a single thought Or emotion inside a man. Everything we see today, Made by past generations, Was, before its appearance, A thought in the mind of a man Or an impulse in the heart of a woman, Says rightly Walter D Wintle. And war, too, with all its repercussions, Sprouted in the mind of a man Or germinated in the heart of a woman. We are living in a world of war and terror, Lad by uncanny narcissistic type of leaders Who have shut in drawers dead The sophisticated, elegant And balanced view of geopolitics. Think of the raped and the displaced, The buried and the betrayed, The castaways and the uncared, The ills of poverty and maladies, And those who charter their boats In tempestuous seas of time. Think............ Think for a while, O man! And today,think of the children of Gaza, Who lost their lives With blood and sweat Trickling from their innocent foreheads. Think of the sizzling anger In their mothers hearts And the fire of rage flowing In the veins of their fathers And think of the hearths and homes Deprived of the songs of children And the ray of hope in their smiles. Today, let our tears flow For the children of Gaza, Let these tears break down those frozen silences Of the whole human race And dispel the dense dark smoke Of ignorance smothering their eyesight. Allow these tears to show Our human story which looks Like a family saga Full of hate and revenge. Allow our tears to bring back The purity and sanctity of mankind In love and peace. Pramila Khadun.
