In the Shadows of Strife

Title: In the Shadows of Strife

In shadows cast by conflict’s might,
Aid mission halted, robbed of light,
Fear’s cold grip cancels hope’s respite,
Gaza’s plight shrouded in endless night.

Beneath war’s flames, the land lies scarred,
A fragile peace is left unbarred,
Yet hunger looms, a famine hard,
A dire warning from WHO, unmarred.

Faces wear the lines of despair,
Voices whisper prayers in the air,
Children’s laughter a diamond rare,
But torment’s grasp keeps innocence ensnared.

Amidst the rubble, life’s flame anew,
Heroes emerge, tireless and true,
Defying darkness with hearts imbued,
Bringing solace, their mission pursued.

We yearn for peace to dwell a while,
To ease the burdens, reconcile,
A future bright, where love compiles,
Where Gaza’s story finds a gentle smile.

Until that day, we stand in grace,
Lifting prayers to embrace this place,
Together united, let compassion trace,
A path to heal, a better embrace.
