It must be dicey

Service delivery

This altruistic job health service delivery

Done in a war situation

Done in prolonged war situations

Dares to safe life always

Dares to save life no matter what

Executed with precision

Yet executed as it leaves deep depressions

On medics and paramedics. Cry this!

When Hamas fired freewill target practice

On civilians, innocent civilians of Kibbutz Be’eri

At the Israeli side border with Gaza

That terrible October 7, 2023 ’twas

In come medics of Soroka Medical Center

It took treated the first victims, this Soroka Medical Center

Its medics too became victims, this Soroka Medical Center

As death common place became, voiding common sense

When Israel announced no nuances known

’it was hunting down Hamas wherever and whatever,

Located in the Zeitoun area South of Gaza

In come medics of Al-Ahli Hospital

It took victims of Isreal Hamas hunt

Its medics too became victims, this Al-Ahli Hospital

Its grand age notwithstanding, since 1882

Its specialty notwithstanding, only cancer it manages

No training trains medics to die dreadful death

In doing their trained job

’cause one arrogated that freedom ’tis fighting for

Thus killing it must

How many must die, One! One is too many

But a thousand plus!

Terror this be

’cause another powered that rights of freedom ’tis fighting for

How many must die for this freedom

One! One is too many. But thousands plus

Collateral terror this be!

How come we have become the likes of

hyenas and leopards

For when a hyena tastes blood, more blood it craves

For when a leopard sees 20 goats, all the twenty it kills

Even if it’ll only eat one goat

To the world

In the manner that all airports are watched without end, now

With sight and might, watch hospitals world over without end

For the hyenas have tasted blood, more they’ll crave

And no leopards must get excuse to kill unwarranted

To Israel and Palestine, I call for Peace

Peace in Israel Peace in Palestine
