I saw her naked...

 I saw her naked and bleeding

Was it delusion or reality?

I don't discern.

The wolves trapped her on the brook,

Kindness shunned their heart and faith.  

 

But, I saw her in clothes;

I saw her playing and dancing,

On the festive time.

Demons tore her clothes apart,

The barbarians wrapped her in red cloth. 

 

They are soft shields like moccasins

and flashy body put on show,

In the streets and colonies,

In the combat vehicles and barracks,

Her mother cried and pleaded, holding her picture.

 

I was so sad,

I penned a poem from her tears and blood,

Coloured it with petals of dry flowers,

The vultures laugh at her naked body,

Blackguards jump, and the brute applaud and glitter to each other.

 

One bomber holds out by her locks while the other pushes off

Stare her now and then for the game,

The pitiable woman dancing and happy a moment ago,

The curl German woman dances with her beauty on cheery land,

The death-men lean on her naked body, triumphant.

 

The reporter scrolls pen rapidly over the note-book,

The assassin is lettering with guns and deaths,

The desperado killer jogs in the joyous park,

The fanatic counts his prey, the radical polishes his gun,

The goon beats time for the band and all the assassins follow him.

 

 

The bombers are baptized, the converts are performing their main professions,

The regatta is spread on the theatre park, the battle is begun,

The drover watching his herd carnage out to them that would be lost,

The dealer carts with his pack on his back,

Dancing Shani Louk unaware of all, landed a caged fowl. 



N.B.: Shani Louk is believed to be the woman paraded naked around Gaza and later on killed by Hamas terrorists chanting Allahu Akbar. She had been attending an outdoor music festival near Kibbutz Urim, Israel, when Hamas terrorists attacked the festival area.
