Just past a year since conflict erupted in the Middle East and it is still not abating.
Breakfast in the Ruins
Gaza, one year on: began by a crime
Unexpected murder, hostages taken
Hamas attacks Israel: a clock’s chime
Marks hour when chaos was awaken
From hours to days, and days to weeks
Bombarding Gaza, and the children die
Occasional pauses, and highest peaks
As the turning world has gone awry
Breakfast in the ruins, early morning
Rubble around, a people displaced
Thunder clouds bring storm warning
Violence and fear are interlaced
Pray for these lands, O pray for peace
That the conflicts might one day cease
