Analysis of Palestinian Child
I helped my child dress-up
Whilst Palestinian children bled.
I took my child trick-or-treating
Whilst Palestinian children burnt.
I bought my child an ice-cream
Whilst Palestinian children died.
I held my child close
Whilst Palestinian mothers mourned.
I told my child "I love you"
Whilst Palestinian fathers cried.
