it’s time to bring this back

What did you do while the children of Gaza were dying?

I argued with their killers.

What did you say?

I said that the innocent deserve innocence. That the sound of laughter is better than nightmares, and briefer. That the cost of killing may be higher than the price of dying.

Did they listen?

Do killers ever listen? They are deafened by their weapons’ drone and by the grate of their own voices raging, denying.

Why were they angry?

They said that they needed to feel safe.

Safe from the children?

They said there are no children in Gaza, only young combatants.

And the babies?

They said they are little snakes that will grow, and it is better to kill them in their nests.

And what of the teachers? The singers? The artists? The fathers? The mothers?

They said that all who live there are terrorists. And as for the mothers, they said it is they who bear the little snakes.

Did your protestations do any good?

No. I lost my breath, I lost my words, I lost my heart. But had I not argued, I would have lost my soul.

Did any children survive?

In body, yes. In spirit, it is not sure.

The children who lived, what will become of them?

Their eyes will sear holes in the night sky. Remember this when you look at the stars:

that it is the burning eyes of Gaza’s children that hold your gaze.
