Gaza mothers soothe their kids
by telling them fireworks are beautiful
be brave and laugh it’s the TV I am going to turn it off
when there is bombing I hug them and cry
in one room without windows playing cooking watching
cartoon movies on TV if there is electricity
my oldest Ahmed he’s old enough to understand
not fireworks or the neighbors cleaning the rug
( Zeina Hashem Beck )
Found poem for Gaza, based on an article in Baraka Bits
