A Brother’s Lament (Part 1)

Shadows hold tight, a heart’s shattered cry,

An 11-year soul, drowning in its pain.

By his brother’s side, cold and still they lie,

A tender tale of loss, forever ingrained.

Shrieks pierce the air, a scream that won’t subside,

Kisses fall upon skin, cold and pale.

In death’s chilling grasp, love can’t be denied,

An eternal bond, a story that won’t fail.

“Soon I’ll join you in this shroud of innocence,

Together we’ll soar, forever free.

Buried side by side, in this sacred space,

Brother’s arms entwined, eternally.

A tragedy unfolds, young hearts forever tied,

A love that death can’t sever, though tears may flow.

O Gaza, O Gaza, your anguish we share,

We weep with you, we grieve with you, we stand beside you in red

Be strong, for hope will rise, and pain will fade,

Together we shall rise 

again, unafraid.
