Palestine under Siege SOS Please
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
March 15, 2004
He had just left school
In the old city neighborhood
In Jerusalem an Israeli
Settler drove his car
Over this youth
Death hovered a week
Then settled
She, a Hebron
Senselessly beaten
Battered beauty
Beneath the settlers
Fists as IDF soldiers
Watched on unconcerned
Executions against the Wall
Live fire on peaceful protests
Dead are the dreams of peaceful means
When the world reaction is to yawn
The Fourth Geneva
Convention of 1949
Please reconvene
Take effective means
Grave breaches
Conditions
Deteriorate
Starvation, thirst, disease
Continued siege
My God why
Have you forsaken us
To the brutality of Thine own?
