Forced into a corner – v2 #Rafah #Hamas #Israel

Lambs prepared for slaughter,
gathered into the pen, a prison,
boxed in, forced into a corner,
the Shepherd now their terror…
 
Nowhere to run, to hide,
corralled, forced into a corner,
Other turning away, hiding,
averting, covering their eyes…
 
The Shepherd now their terror
lambs prepared for slaughter,
lost in the world’s indifference,
caged, forced into a corner…
