Forced into a corner #Rafah #Palestine

Lambs prepared for slaughter,
gathered into the pen,
forced into a corner,
the shepherd now their terror…
 
Nowhere to run, to hide,
Forced into a corner,
Other turning away,
covering their eyes…
 
The shepherd now their terror
lambs prepared for slaughter,
lost in the world’s indifference,
forced into a corner…
