The city stood in ruins
With its annihilated buildings and destroyed roads it
resembled hell.
Not a single bird, not a single street dog, not a single
soul could be seen.
Deep within a ramshackle wept a grieving woman, bodies of
her children lying in her arms.
Why ohh why… what was
their fault… why did you let them born in this hapless city of Gaza?
