I dream of peace
for the Palestinian People in Gaza.
For the genocide to stop.
For them to be able to not only survive
but thrive in peace.
Without the need for retaliation
or retribution.
Guns and bombs no longer needed.
Plenty for everyone.
Hospitals to heal
not as bomb shelters.
No more fear
Only Joy.
