 The soldiers came to Gaza To carry out their brothers Against the law, they said Homes will be bulldozed The soldiers came to Gaza Try to remain peaceful and kind Hand them water, carry the Torah Crying in the synagogue The soldiers came to Gaza Fathers wail to a God they Think has abandoned them And hold their children The soldiers came to Gaza Mothers pointing fingers Shouting curses, Shame on you Hat brims pulled low to hide tears The soldiers came to Gaza Seeing their youth, And their kinship Some will hug the soldiers instead Belongings in a bag The soldiers came to Gaza The sadness is palpable The tears are ever flowing Bodies may leave, but the souls remain |

Tears cannot wash away the pain of those who have suffered the loss of a loved one, to war. An emotional read, and undoubtedly, a very emotional one to write. Love, Harmony and World Peace, EA  |

Very touching Tina. There is nothing more tramatic than loosing one's home and way of life. How difficult it must have been for those soldiers to carry out such an order. Ida |
