Party For Gaza

The invitations were sent.
Some accepted.
Some declined.
Some were revoked,
well, it’s cool to change your mind.
And there are always some no shows,
too peaceful to party,
too warlike for peace,
but afeared of falling
prey
to imprisonment,
afeared of falling
prey
to paying
or just afeared
of justice.
