A Stray Bullet (Death in Gaza, Everyday)
(inspired by the talk given by poet and scholar Refaat Alrareer)
A father,
outside buying food for his young children,
A sudden shot fired,
at the market-place where the father was,
that stray bullet hitting an unintended target
the food dropping from his hands
scattering over the floors of the marketplace
mingling together with the blood seeping out from him.
Such a small thing,
yet so fatal,
in the wrong hands,
spells death for the innocent
coming to anyone,
anywhere,
anytime...
