CONSEQUENCES OF NEGLECT

 

This is a quiet wilderness

Waiting for the deep night

When missiles fly

And children weep

And the whole world watches

While Gaza pleads

Yet gets no relief

As though righteousness

Has no limits

         But it does.

         As the U.S. says no –

         Let them bomb.

         And Great Britain – emphasis “great”

         Abstains –

         As though untouched by the whole thing –

         “Nasty rebels, ukk”

As we wait for justice for dead Jews

Who cannot come back –

Even if they wanted to

How many new deaths are warranted

When they allowed the threat to build

And failed to contain the threat.

         We are mystical creatures

         Always imagining our permanence

         Yet smiling knowingly

         As those we know perish

         While we carry on

So to the last dreamer standing

Walking wall and fluid with grace

I say yes to everything

And to everything I wish grace                                                  231209.2
