Palestine
Gaza is in despair
As well as the West Bank, and what’s left of the State of
Palestine.
We have been ostracized from our own land.
We need SOMEONE to present our problem.
Our own president works with our oppressor,
Who is speaking for us?
Who is our leader? Who is our voice?
We have been ignored for too long
We must take action
We need someone to help the oppressed
Who will it be?
We are like mice, no one can hear us, and no one can see us.
We are as invisible as air
Are we not important? We are people and we have rights.
When shall we be known?
After we are murdered? Abused? Or when we are no longer
living on this beautiful land?
Who will save us?
Who will prevent more tears and more blood from spilling?
Someone take action, someone take responsibility. There must
be order.
Stop the occupants end the occupation !

You have really good figurative language in this poem. "as invisible as air" is a good comparison. Im not sure if its simile or metaphor cuz i sorta forget which is which lol. Also ur use of saying we is very persuading. This is also a very strong poem.
