Mr. Prime Minister When Will the Nightmare End?

Mr. Prime Minister, when will

The Gaza nightmare end?

What absolute misery –

I loathe destroying people ’s homes,

I want to go home

I want to hug my love!

Instead of home’s warmth

and my girlfriend’s loving arms –

anguish fills my frozen bones

while watching the dreadful shock of a boy

who has just discovered his dead mother’s body

under his wrecked home …

We came back from the nightmare

with horror in our hearts

and imploring in our eyes –

Mr. Prime Minister, we were born

for creation, for joy, for love and life –

not for destruction!

Please, Mr. Prime Minister,

end this nightmare

that ends our hopes, our dreams,

our young lives,

this horrifying nightmare

that kills our souls and bodies

not only in nightmares.

Ada Aharoni, Israel
