Rachel and Aysha - The Innocent Victims of War

The imposing Golden Gate of Old Jerusalem stands as a silent witness to the unfolding sorrow depicted in the poem. | Part of the series “The Innocent Victims of War”
The Golden Gate of old Jerusalem

Rachel screams.
A ripping pain mauls
her body but the cruel
abuser has no pity.

Aysha gasps for breath.
The bombs keep falling
and a ton of rubble
crushes her tiny chest.

Rachel and Aysha
holding hands, weep
at the gates of Salem
but the Lord is deaf.
