the passers-by
guessed
what you were going
to do
 
the onlookers
saw
your anti genocidal intent
and let you go ahead
 
and now you are dead
 
you were allowed
to burn a long 
excruciating time
before just a few
rushed to your rescue
shouting
“Call the board”
 
youtube
mercifully blurred the image
but could not delete
the carnage
in our mind
 
may you
Rest In Palestine
