Surrendered Shadows

Surrendered Shadows

In Gaza’s heart, a hospital abode,
Where shadows of conflict oft bestowed,
More than 70 souls, warriors no more,
Lay down their arms, strength replaced by remorse.

A gesture of peace, an olive branch extended,
Amidst the chaos, hopes newly amended,
Weapons relinquished, a surrender so profound,
Seeds of peace sown on this hallowed ground.

Fear and hostility, once etched in the air,
Now replaced by whispers of peace and repair,
A turning point reached, a chance to heal,
Surrendered shadows, wounds begin to seal.

Yet amidst the surrender, more lies concealed,
Firearms uncovered, secrets yet revealed,
A reminder that change takes time and trust,
In the pursuit of peace, truth is a must.

A glimpse of hope shines through the haze,
As warriors become peacemakers in these days,
From shadows to light, a transformation found,
In surrender, humanity’s true strength is crowned.
