Tonight There are no Lights in Gaza, by Rang-Zeb Rango Hussain

Tonight…
..
A child clings to the cold chest of his mother,
A brother sees his sister crushed in death’s sleep,
..
Tonight…

A city is shelled from morning till the dead of night,
A nation is hit hard from high in the burning sky,
..
Tonight…
..
A desert family is decimated beyond all measure of hope,
A sound pierces through the hearts of those deep in grief,
..
Tonight…
..
The Lord of All knows,
The mother of a dead child knows…
