Gaza's Heaven

The Children of Gaza

O’Children of Gaza

What does heaven look like?

Is it peaceful? Is it free?

Have your tears dried? Is your pain gone?

Does the sun keep you warm?

Are baba and khalto there too?

There’s an emptiness here

Counting the scare you left behind

The breathes I take aren’t mine

I watched you choke as you screamed for freedom

What does it feel like in heaven?

Are you more alive?
