Letters

A sterile box

Neatly packing horrors

Families ripped apart, bombs, rape, children

Slaughtered.

Thanks for reading!

Genocide is something going on in the world as I write this. It's more than a poetry topic. Learn more about current genocide and war:

    I thank each person who writes about the genocide that Israel is committing against Palestinians. There are not enough folks writing about it on Vocal, so each piece is treasured. It's horrifying, but it cannot be forgotten.

    This hurts so much to read. But, is so well written to get such a visceral response, so well done to you, Meg!
