Reflections on the Price of Conflict

Title: Reflections on the Price of Conflict

Friendly-fire killings of hostages,
Noble lives lost, innocence betrayed,
Amidst the chaos, truth remains hidden,
Gaza’s strategy questioned, conscience swayed.

In the heart of battle’s painful dance,
Mistaken bullets scar the innocent soul.
Humanity cries out for mercy’s chance,
As precious lives fade, never to be whole.

Beneath the cries and shattered dreams,
A plea for peace, a yearning to be free.
Can Gaza’s wounds contain redeeming streams?
Or shall the cycle of violence forever be?

Caught amidst the crossfire’s bitter wrath,
A nation’s soul beseeches lessons to learn.
For every life taken, shared humanity bleeds,
Let empathy guide, from darkness we must turn.

In the wake of tragedy, a call to reflect,
To search for a change, to heal and protect.
Friendly-fire, Gaza, strategy, hostage, killings, reconsider
