If you could imagine
Your teenage girl in prison
In a jail far away without charges
For four days
Because she dared to try to save
a few things
from the bulldozer,
if you could demolish a home
while people screamed –
and smile,
“all in a days’ work,”
If you could see the place now
Looking at the remains of a family dwelling after a demolition
The tent poles bent
Into crosses
On the ground
you could understand
this absurd and tragic place.
And then
Maybe you could explain it
To me.
See the VIDEO by Operation Dove about the demolition at Um Fagara; it will break your heart.
