2. Gaza City
Tue Sep 9, 2025, 02:21 PM
Tuesday


In Gaza, where chaos won't cease,
Came orders that shattered all peace.
"Evacuate now!" was the cry from on high,
But hunger and fear make folks lie where they lie—
While the world pleads in vain for release.

In Gaza, where shadows grow long,
The weak face the wrath of the strong.
"Get out!" came the call, as the bombs start to fall,
But where can they go through it all?
The silence of justice is wrong.

“Evacuate all,” came the yell,
As Gaza descended to hell.
To root Hamas out, the bombs scream and shout,
While civilians have no place to dwell—
Just dust, and the death they foretell.

“Flee now,” came the thundering cry,
As war scorched the city and sky.
To shatter Hamas, the bombs tear and raze—
While its leaders live rich, far away from the blaze,
And the poor are left only to die.
