Does it Always Have to Happen?

By Harrison Young

I am a young boyI just get in the way sometimes

I get in the way a lotThis time I wasn’t getting in the way

I was the targetI am Palestinian.

But I need some help now,More than ever

I am dyingAnd there is nothing I can do

To stop itThis is a time of war,

A time of hatredAnd it is a time of,

death

In other countries,There are no wars about territories

Or where people can live,So why do we have that here,

Where I am dyingWhere my family has died

Where many have died

We all need help
