Falsely Safe

Voice of Palestine, 27/05/24

Who shelters the frightened with mere tents,
Against missiles of death so cruel?
Who builds a refuge for families,
From a fate they can’t outrule?

Their home in rubble, hope in flight,
In falsely safe Rafah, they sought peace,
They set up a tent, slept through the night,
But never saw the dawn release.

The tent, a grave where dreams were stilled,
A fragile shield that couldn’t save,
In silence now, their story’s told,
Of lives erased, of hopes betrayed.

We stand firmly against injustice in all its forms. Nothing can justify the current war crimes committed by Israel in occupied Palestine. Equally, nothing can excuse the continued support offered by other nations to this apartheid regime. If you believe in human rights, dignity, and justice, then we urge you to boycott this rogue state. Silence is complicity, do what’s right.
