A blockade is an effort to cut off food, supplies, war material or communications from a particular area by force, either in part or totally. A blockade should not be confused with an embargo or sanctions, which are legal barriers to trade, and is distinct from a siege in that a blockade is usually directed at an entire country or region, rather than a fortress or city. Most blockades historically took place at sea, with the blockading power seeking to cut off all maritime transport from and to the blockaded country; although stopping all land transport to and from an area may also be considered a blockade. In the 20th century air power has also been used to enhance the effectiveness of the blockade by halting all air traffic within the blockaded air space.
Close patrol of the hostile ports, in order to prevent naval forces from putting to sea, is also referred to as a blockade. When a coastal cities or fortresses were besieged from the landward side, the besiegers would often blockade the seaward side as well. Most recently, blockades have sometimes included cutting off electronic communications by jamming radio signals and severing undersea cables. Israel and its blockade of the Gaza Strip since 2001 has received the most attention as a continuing crisis.
Humans falling into the cursed land
The Blood running in me won't be disgraced
I can see the blackness taking Place
But the time of my skin is near the end
Now this is what I will need
In this salvation that I should bleed
We walk into the silent lake
To end the way in a dying sea
Start a life where the ship gives birth
And then drowning Deep in the Dead Sea
And this is what I will need
Only from your skin I shall feed
Salvation
No more pains from abhorrence
Damnation
For the rules of humanity
Creation
Souls were sold, to their life divine
Depression
The forbidden reasons that must be said
The place was damned upon Thee
A life time curse Blasphemy
Through ages the stories were declared
More tails I'll say on that sea
Dignity
Days Proved the No exist
Endlessly
Plague had come with no mercy
Denied
