NOOR BARAKA, AGED 6

As on a video of Palestinian

journalist Noor Harazeen.

Noor Baraka, aged 6,

breaths with difficulty,

and with every

laboured breath

blood pours

from her nostrils.

In an another hospital,

in an another land,

not under occupation,

not being bombed,

with ample supplies,

she might have

a chance,

she wouldn't

even be there,

blood pouring

from her nostrils

with every breath,

but this is

Israeli occupied

Palestine's Gaza Strip,

and an old man

in Washington,

in an old, grand 

white building,

decreed

that Apartheid Israel

has a right to do this

to Noor Baraka, aged 6,

and to thousands

upon thousands

of Palestinian children

like her.

Joe Biden

did this.
