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
