Stop the Carnage - Stop the War - Stop the Attacks on Gaza - Permanent Ceasefire - No More Violence - Leave Rafah in Peace!

 

Rafah

 

A city on the edge of catastrophe.

Designated ‘safe zone’ where,

 

defying the limits of space,

over a million people

 

have been herded.

Choke point. Crossing

 

to nowhere. Edge

of annihilation.

 

Such moments

too many in power

 

across the globe

want to make history

 

before and as they happen.

To relegate. To regret

 

after the fact,

after massacres

 

have been totted up

and converted to statistics.

  1. Totally agree, if only people in power could act as if they were actual people and look at the problems with even an inkling of humanity.
