Homage to Gaza’s Martyred Children

ICONS OF INNOCENCE

Dom Martin

urknet.info, March 9, 2009 Death is an awful thought — lachrymose indeed! Yet, the imprint of death on the faces of the children killed in Israel’s 2008/2009 devastating siege on Gaza, dons an angelic aura. They appear asleep in eternity’s embrace — never again to be awoken or traumatized by the apocalypse of sonic booms, DIMES, artillery shells and phosphorous incinerations. This poem is dedicated to the Children of Gaza, who were deprived the gift of existence and the realization of ordinary bliss. — Dom Martin ICONS OF INNOCENCE Coexistence Is humanity’s Title Deed To survival! In human greed Comes the revival Of belligerence! There’s protectorate In the electorate To incorporate error With power And power With terror! Death is aimed The mother framed The cradle claimed! Survival is maimed Existence walled Justice stalled! * In eternity’s sanctuary No obituary! The children are awake In ageless play Watching reincarnation display A sovereign stake! * Death Has been our annual aid To date! Hope Is Gaza’s yoke Through our roadblocks! In Gaza’s carnage Is the Quartet’s entourage And the viserage Of international laws And outlaws! Silence, alas Is the quilt Of our guilt: The ballast Of our conscience And omniscience! - Dom Martin Dom Martin is a surrealist artist, poet and writer. He is the author of GENOCIDE: The New Order of Imperialism (2008) and COEXISTENCE: Humanity’s Wailing Wall (2006). His prophetic imagery of the 2008/2009 Gaza Genocide can be seen at www.propheticimagery.com .
