Dear Gaza
A sonnet by Sara Elizabeth Joyce

To my dear friends I have never met
And probably never will ever meet
Because soon you will either be dead
Or I would have become too Ill to see
A sickness now controls humanity
It’s so obvious and plain to see
Yet so many cannot see what I see
Living in a bizarre dichotomy
Where the good and evil they perceive
Is skewered by a thirty second clip
That will be forgotten in a flash
before they finish their biscuits and tea
But I will hear your voices in my dreams
Calling out to me, pleading to be free
About the Creator
