Hands
Hands
In Gaza, every single day is a struggle
to find food and water, find promise
out of rubble. It is easier to find
a hand away from its body. Someday
the children will understand, they'll
grow knowing this was against them.
People say they'll turn into terrorists...
so they must die now with empty bellies.
One fights with hands for the right to live,
looks for food with hands, loves, pampers,
helps others with hands, shakes other hands
with hands, or unfolds hands to show a lack
of malice or ill intent, fights with hands
in every holocaust, and uses hands to hide
from death, right here upon these lands.
