Gaza

With whole families in an instant snuffed out    
I know that there's no fortress sound enough;    
no wall, no border, and no keen redoubt    
which would ever convincingly rebuff    
all that the forces of hate may compel    
to cascade down upon the open meek;    
all of the elements of vassal hell    
predisposed to turning an abject cheek,    
and by such a turn to press an attack      
that no old combat honor would condone.  
    
Only the faux virtuous brainiac,    
who was by the risk all too crudely prone    
to unman themselves with more massive bombs...    
and kill ratios...with children...and moms.
