Taken

In the loving memory of Shireen Abu Aqla

Shireen Abu Aqla

A horrid raging bullet

Straight to the head

And just like that

She falls dead.

All she ever wanted was to

report the truth

Strived for it all her youth

Fighting for justice

for her beloved Palestine

To show the world unspeakable crimes.

The aggressor wanting to inflict pain

Killing with no shame

Pointing fingers not wanting blame.

Will the world remain silent?

Watching from a far

Or speak out

And remove any doubt.

Rest in peace beautiful soul

Little did you know

That the tables would turn

The world would burn from all the abuse

And you would be the breaking news.
