These Rocks

These rocks out weigh your tanks

These rocks we pluck from the earth

Stones crumbled

What was once a place of worship

Now a rock quarry

Buildings reduced to nothingness

These rocks

I hurl these rocks at your tank

This gesture sounds useless

Futile in the gaze of military weapons

Missiles shot into the heavens

Same place we send our prayers of relief

Only theirs come back faster

These rocks are a symbol

Not of foolishness

Nor of insanity

But of the same courage that David had

Fighting against a powerful oppressor

Armed with nothing more

Then a sling

And these rocks

How do you honor David by becoming Goliath

There is no peace in the Middle East

No words to describe what we see

But I have a few

Murder

Annihilation

Ethnic cleansing

Holocaust

Extermination

These rocks

We stand on rocks

We sit on the rocks

We sleep on rocks

We die on rocks

These rocks

Are a symbol of a countries spirit

How do you watch these atrocities and feel nothing

The limbs of children taken from young bodies

The missing eye of a grandmother struck by shrapnel

The deafness of a three month old baby from close range bomb & missile strikes

All to defend the land they have lived on for centuries

Semi automatic weapons

7.62 shells cover the ground

RPG‘s fly to the sky

All against these rocks
