Palestine - Time had erased humanity

His face wrinkled with sweat and fear

He stands holding the gun

Brave eyes staring back at him, daring him to take a move

He doesn’t know what to do but ever since he’s been a kid he’s been taught

That they’re the enemy and suddenly

His eyes rage with a fire

Directed towards a little kid who has not known how to play with toys as much as he’d known how to stare back with fearless eyes

And the kid’s eyes tear, but he is not melancholic

He is euphoric in fact,

In his mind he is thinking, “I’ll finally meet my brother in heaven,”

The soldier fires a bullet that shoots the kid in the heart

His face suddenly splattered with a red that made his veins light up with cruelty

And as the kid’s last breath escapes as a gasp from his lips

Everyone else all around the world is caring about meaningless little things

And the kid realized, “time had erased humanity.”
