Freedom's Cause

 College students let their voices be heard
 As they call for freedom for Palestine
 Putting bodies on the line, their anger stirred
 With determination their hearts and minds entwine
 But the war machine is in full swing
 Of a ceasefire there is no sign
 As more death and sorrow those bombs bring
 But do the powers that be...
 really want freedom for Palestine?

Aysha Nuwas Date: 4/26/2024 9:23:00 PM You have expressed this very well, I loved this poem, Aysha
Vijay Pandit Date: 4/26/2024 4:39:00 PM A complex world this is. I concur with the spirit of your poem, Joseph. May there be peace and reconciliation!
Sara Etgen-Baker Date: 4/26/2024 4:21:00 PM I can relate to your dislike for the violence that's occurring on college campuses. I often ponder the same question that you did at the end of your poem. I sometimes believe the powers that be don't want peace...they want chaos..the chaos gives them a sick type of power...???
Sotto Poet Date: 4/26/2024 11:44:00 AM Joseph, such an excellent poem that expresses displeasure at the continuing violence and the lack of progress toward a truce while also urging Palestine's freedom.
