No more tears left
My eyes are dry
As I watch the news unfold
The heartache is unbearable
It’s slaughter in Gaza
Fire, death everywhere
UN is meeting
Around the table they all sit
With food, water, light
The room is warm
But no water, food, light or heat
For the people of Gaza
Nothing for Gaza
The UN is meeting.
How many days, months, years
Have they lived
Without basic human dignity
But the UN is still talking
How many men, women and children will die
Before the UN does something
So many deaths, so much destruction
Crying, screaming, sobbing
UN does not hear you Gaza
UN is in meeting
But you’re in my prayers Gaza
May God be with you.
