Gaza

July 2014 will always be the month of Gaza for me - although the Palestinians have been subjected to this pain since 1948 - my acute awareness of their crisis hit hard this year, it changed my perception of the world, its so called leaders and the realisation that human beings can behave in such a disgusting, vile and inhumane way towards fellow brothers, sisters and children. 

Contradictory to the thoughts of many this was not a religious,ethnic or cultural battle but one of humanity.

Love and compassion is what drove me - the unjust treatment of innocent children, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters. 

My heart tore at the images of these people, these beautiful people being torn apart.

The Orange Moon

cannot sleep
looked out the window and cannot believe how orange the moon is
it is burning
burning like my heart for the children of Gaza
not the best photo but it reassured me that there is a greater power out there
greater than Israel's missiles
greater than Obama's betrayal in his speech
the power of God will supersede these nations and their agendas

Hanya 

Their heart beats on.........

The People of Gaza teach us what pain and courage really is 

we should be ashamed

the world should be ashamed

Gaza we let you down

My heart is sad
