Palestinians trying to cross north Gaza after rumours that childre and women would be allowed to seek safety there in April. Israeli forces intervened with gas bombs

A Lament for No one’s children

No one’s children died the envoy implies

meaning the children of no one he knows died

When the truth is

No one’s children don’t know why minutes after they were born,

they were blown up by the envoy’s guys,

blasted from postnatal to postfatal

in milliseconds

But no one’s other children know why,

and they know that whilst the world stands by,

they too must die,

to make room for the children

and the children’s children of the great I am who I am.
