Gaza Sonnet
A doctor`s house with two daughters in it came
Under artillery fire while he who worked at the hospital in Gaza
Trying to save life after yet another Israeli attack, lost both
His children, the military late apologized.
After the funeral, the good doctor did not seek help for his
Immense suffering but carried on working while
Grief unburdened was eating him up.
One day he went to the beach the sea was calm and turquoise
He undressed and began swimming he had to get away
A strong swimmer he swam long before an Israeli gunboat
Blew him out of the water, red turned to pink and then
Back to calming azure as the warped thinking of the occupiers
Said go he should have sought psychological help
For sorrow so deep that no well-meaning words would assuage
