about

Is what is happening in Gaza a war? Can collective punishment of an occupied people be called fighting? This Harri Boy Rogers poem set to music suggests otherwise.

All proceeds to Medical Aid To Palestinians (MAP)

lyrics

Fighting? What is fighting?
Is dropping bombs fighting?
Is flying drones fighting?
Is bombardment fighting?
Houses to dust, fighting?
Cutting off food, fighting?
Cutting off fuel, fighting?
Cut off water, fighting?
Destroying crops, fighting?
Killing children, fighting?
Raining terror, fighting?
Total blockade, fighting?
None of this is fighting.
It is slow genocide,
It's mass PTSD,
It is permanent fear,
Whole life anxiety.
It's abuse of power,
It's close to a pogrom.
There's no way it's fighting
In this ghastly ghetto
It's become hell on earth.
No, this is not fighting,
It's very frightening.
What it is
Is Murder.

Harri Boy Rogers in The Red Bedroom 25th October 2023.
