In honest simple verse

Restrictions: None
War in the Middle East
Hamas attacked brutally
And Israel ferociously
Retaliated directly
Oh, all those deaths!

People are in stupified shock
Murder, mayhem, and blasts ad hoc
The Gaza Strip, its people are on lock:
No food, water, or power

Hostages are taken by terrorists
Two countries divided through mist
Of smoke, hatred, and cunning list
Of two years of preparation.

Jews and Palestinians go
In murderous embrace, the flow
Of escalation in a row
The world is looking.
