Oppression of Palestinians is a blot on our civilized times even as the thirst of the blood-thirsty Gog-Magogs goes on- writes Mujeeb Jaihoon
We touch and swipe
With fingers
Yet, fail to feel
With hearts
Of rights and justice
We boast
From acts of mercy
We desist
Mounts of Weapons
For mass destruction
Not a sword even
To defend the weak
A thousand saviors
For pets and plants
But death alone befriends
Women and kids
HD-superheroes: applauded
True bravehearts: media-scorned
Gaza is the shame
On our times and thoughts
Blood-thirsty Gog-Magogs:
Yet to be quenched
Gaza is the work
of blood and bank
Of Qabeel and Qarun:
An evil prank
May peace prevail
In the land of Mary’s Son
Till the day when from the West
Shall rise the End-Sun
