You can look the other way as it is not
your mother screaming for help whilst
holding the cold bodies of her dead
grandchildren.
You can look the other way as it is not
your brothers bones being broken,
blood being shed and body being
discarded like trash.
You look the other way as it may upset you or
your heart may not handle the graphic images.
Those 'too graphic' images are not just
pictures it is a reality to many. The blood is
real, the tears are real, the shattered homes
are real, their death is real and so were their
lives.
Look the other way oh United Nations, look the other way Mighty Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, look the other
way oh United Arab Emirates, look the other way oh Pakistan, look the other way oh Qatar, look the other
way oh Brunei and please look the other way Oh Ummah! - this is too horrific for you to watch in pictures and
videos from the comfort and safety of your homes. Oh world look the other way for we are silenced to death
from your lack of humanity
South Africa cried tears of oppression, blood, torture,
murder, rape and discrimination for decades until we
found peace in unity. We cried for our beloved country
today we cry for our beloved Palestine.
Today - Palestine is screaming for help, yet humanity is
hauntingly silent. Look the other way...but before you go
to bed today please remember us and so many like us in
your duas.-Naadira Chhipa
