A Broken White Flag

Title: A Broken White Flag

In a land marred by strife and pain,
Where hope flickers in hearts so drained,
Israeli hostages, trembling in fear,
Raised a white flag, their cries sincere.

Their pleas for peace, silenced by hate,
As bullets shattered a fragile state,
Innocence, torn on that tragic day,
A surrender condemned to a cruel display.

Oh, the irony of that pristine hue,
A symbol of surrender, a plea so true,
Yet in the chaos, their lives were spent,
A flag that fluttered, but failed to prevent.

Now their souls ascend to skies above,
A tragic reminder of lost and love,
May their spirits find solace in the night,
Amidst the darkness, a glimmer of light.
