Wafaa

A 3 year old girl, killed by Israeli soldiers with her father, on her first day to school.

         Wafaa

         First day to school
         Was also my last
         A shortcut between
         My future, and past

         Mommy kissed me
         And waved me goodbye
         But tears in her eyes
         Were telling her I’ll die

         Soldiers were high
         On their killing spree
         Shot my father first
         Then they told me

         We’ve crossed the line
          Of any moral test
         Where should we shoot you
         Head, or in the chest?

         Glory be to God
         In the heavens above
         How he deprived
         Those beasts of love

         Glory be to God
         Times won’t stay same
         Who will they lie to
         Next time, and blame?
