Nakba

 Blindness of the mind
fertile ground for hate to expand
when societies become blind
no doubt atrocities will follow
if a little Angel shall rise and speak up
the devils will be ferocious
shouts of "she is the evil witch"
a child who harmed no one
and the genocide marches on.

Duke Beaufort Date: 5/7/2024 11:18:00 AM Aurore, you are absolutely on target....dead center. Thanks for writing this.
Vijay Pandit Date: 5/7/2024 5:35:00 AM A potent reminder of history. Loss of innocent life is devastating--and sadly it marches on-- as you say, Aurore. A thoughtful, meaningful write.
Richard Lamoureux Date: 5/6/2024 9:49:00 AM Yes it seems the innocent are made to suffer. These are sad days.
Silent One Date: 5/6/2024 7:18:00 AM Sad how the Nakba has been erased from history, whilst many other atrocities are still spoken about today... Your poem confronts the sobering truth of how ignorance and closed-mindedness can pave the way for hatred and violence to flourish within society. Through its stark imagery and incisive language, the poet sheds light on the dangerous consequences of collective blindness, where fear and intolerance breed unchecked, which can apply to many things today..
Daniel Henry Rodgers Date: 5/6/2024 5:49:00 AM Dear Aurore, What a stark picture of the consequences of societal blindness and the tragic cycle of hate and violence. You have created such powerful language as you capture the relentless march of atrocities fueled by ignorance and prejudice. The juxtaposition of innocence and persecution highlights the cruel reality faced by those unjustly targeted. Your words are a powerful piece of the importance of speaking out against injustice, even in the face of ferocious opposition. Wonderful poem! - Blessings, Daniel
