"Gaza: A Eulogy in Flames"

There’s a holocaust on your fucking timeline—

scrolled past between coffee and memes.

Another child’s skeleton posed like a question mark,

another hospital erased by laser-guided *"oops."*

The West licks its lips,

debates the *nuance* of rubble,

while the rats grow fat on UN rice

and the bombs wear democracy’s smile.

They call it *war* when the resistance fights back,

call it *tragedy* when the cameras blink,

but when the numbers climb—

*just statistics* in a press release graveyard.

The dead don’t trend unless they’re ours.

History’s ghost whispers *"never again,"*

while the machine gun choir sings *"hold my beer."*

You want *edgy?* Here’s your edge:

the world is a gutted fish,

and we’re all just counting scales.

Love it, How is they do not see, what will come to be, with every murdered soul, a future full of vengeance is sowed.
