if you’re choosing to stay silent. if you’re choosing to “remain neutral” because “politics is not your thing” & i am just a “poetry blog,” you need to wake the fuck up. claiming you read poetry yet you refuse to educate yourself? palestinians are dying every single day. israel has killed 1030 children in gaza in only 9 days. 9 fucking days. and you remain neutral. because it’s not your story. because you’re not living it. well i hope you remain neutral when your whole family gets murdered in front of you.
In order for me to write poetry that is not political, I must listen to the birds & in order to hear the birds, the war planes must be silent.

“Oh but both sides have it bad.”
Palestinians are dying by the thousands, whole families are being wiped out in seconds.
Israeli’s are posting “get ready with me, war edition” videos where they bake bread for soilders.
While the Palestinians are eating bread caked with blood just to survive.
The Israelis are posting cheering as bombs land and hoping more Palestinians die.
Signing off videos with “hastag stay thirsty.”
Knowing that the Palestinians have no clean water, and they are drinking dirty water which makes them sick just to survive.
The Israelis are going to the beach, they have access to public transport, they have the freedom to move around and do whatever they wish.
The Palestinians are writing their names on their hands so they can be identified when the bombs strike.
This is not a war.
Their is no both sides.
This is genocide.
