Marguerite Rami, 'A life is a life'

[duathir.livejournal.com]

A life is a life

We see for fourteen you kill nine hundred, are yours worth so much more
Than all the weeping of Palestine, who cannot fight an equal war
So this is your new Holocaust, although you call it something else
You split Gaza into three, herding the old and weak like cattle
Surely you remember this; you have been here before, not so long ago, I fear
Pity the nation who thinks itself right; pity its people who forget how they died
