In Gaza's Dust

A Villanelle

By MTPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

In Gaza's dust, where shadows dance in pain,

A tale unfolds, a cycle never ceased;

A brutal song of strife, a sad refrain.

-

Along the Strip, where sorrows never wane,

Echoes of conflict, voices unreleased,

In Gaza's dust, where shadows dance in pain.

-

Through tear-streaked skies, the cries of loss sustain

A tragic script, by hate and fear increased;

A brutal song of strife, a sad refrain.

-

In rubbled streets, hope struggles to remain.

A ceaseless battle mars the Middle-East,

In Gaza's dust, where shadows dance in pain.

-

Two sides entwined in anger and disdain.

The price of peace, a cost that's never leased;

A brutal song of strife, a sad refrain.

-

The world looks on, how can this be again?

Yet history repeats, for those deceased.

In Gaza's dust, where shadows dance in pain,

A brutal song of strife, a sad refrain.
