The hue and cry heard ‘round the world
Is stop the bombing! Cease your fire!
That Israel need heed these words
What human decency requires
The lives of innocents are snuffed
Both young and old a thousand fold
Supplies, they cannot get enough
They’re hurt and starving, truth be told
Let’s say that Israel agrees –
Cease Fire – Hamas agrees as well
And money pours from over seas
To rebuild Gaza, time will tell
Hamas’s tunnels would remain
And all their infrastructure too
Hamas, its strength it would regain
Be ready so that they could do
What they have done each time before
They violate the cease-fire pact
And fire missiles by the score
Provoking Israel to act
But this last time it was much worse
They breached the Gaza border fence
I can’t relate within my verse
Atrocities committed thence
It’s idiots who do repeat
What hasn’t worked before for them
Again to witness their defeat
And never figure what’s to blame
A cease-fire really will not work
When squarely dealing with Hamas
We know they’ll never keep their word
More missiles they would then amass
So where’s the hue and where’s the cry
Against Hamas, the terrorists
Who’s caused the Gazans thus to die
Who, of their deaths, could not care less
It’s they who could make this war end
Give back the hostages they stole
“That they want peace”; that message send
“Kill Israel!” Give up that goal!
