“I’m so scared, please come”
–Hind Rajab
What have you done
What have you done?
I would ask
Another time
But I know
That you know
A little girl
Six years old
Pleading on the phone
Terrified by you
The ambulance
That you would
Not allow
Is this the face
Of your enemy?
Is this the victim
That you require?
A little girl
Threatens you?
Maybe she does
Did
For you killed her
In cold blood
You have become
A nation of wolves
A nation of jackals
What is your true goal?
Extermination?
Forced immigration?
Traumatic migration?
This little girl
Reveals your plans
This little girl
On the phone
Six years old
What did she do to you?
(Even God is too ashamed to ask)
You were there
You saw her
Her ambulance
You gunned aside
You have gone too far
Even your lies and
Propaganda
Look pitifully naked
Soaked in so much
Innocent blood
Butcher
There is no other word
But there was another time
And the Irony of History is cruel
With men its paid assassins
This little girl
Terrorized
And murdered
I hear the pushed away sirens
Aching for her to
Survive
Yet her child’s soul
Persists
Asking a grown up question
Who here is the Jew?
And who the Nazi?
