Is the blood of the innocent splattered on our silence and inhumanity?
Hundreds of thousands of us marched the streets to protest this unjust war.
Hundreds of thousands implored those in power, those who are there – supposedly -to make our voices heard at international venues.
We are glued to our seats, watching TV as if it’s our favourite action thriller movie
the only thing missing is microwave popcorn and soda
Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely
22 cogs in power mute, 22 taking this opportunity to do absolutely nothing
Twenty-two cogs in power, who fed and implanted in us the words dignity, honour, helping those in need, and fighting injustice.
Twenty-two cogs in power are doing nothing for their people or for those who are in need.
Twenty-two cogs in power are helping the offenders with their silence.
While the offenders are shelling the life out of Gaza, doing what they want, having their way in every way, defending their “honour”, and bringing peace to their lands. Our 22 heroic cogs are watching the news, laughing at the bloodshed, and in daylight, popping on TV with a shameless self-promotion of sending aid to the shelled-out Gaza.
Makes you really wonder… who is really the Israelite?
