Poem
A Town I knew He was born in a narrow-minded town where a Christian the party was in power, and there were rules for acceptable behavior by stern people who liked to tell others what is right, of course, including a religious attitude a Pakistani scholar who, due to a navigational error came to our town, left quickly through the town reminded him of a town, called Laura in his country The leaders of our town, also interfered with how houses should look, white or pale yellow was allowed A rebel painted his house red, which actually used to be a traditional color on barns, the law fined him, said the house represented a fire hazard. There were many missionaries around who went to Africa to educate the blacks, it was regarded as a high calling doing God's work among the heathen Little did they understand how racist they were seeking implant a foreign God in a confused country about what the missionaries called democracy. Later, when a new political party came to power, white a word of shame, we who had never seen a black person, except for the cook on a banana boat, so well-liked by the ladies, the captain had to go ashore to find him. This brings us to the Jews, who had suffered cruelly and and deserved a state of their own, anyone who tried to disagree were called ant-Semitic This was in stark contrast to the Jews we knew, who were viewed with suspicion as con artists As for the Palestinians, weren't they Arabs going to Arabia, where they belonged We know now that the Hebrews had weaponized the holocaust at last, we see the ugly face of Israel , a land they stole from the Palestinians Israel wants more, they need the Gaza Strip, to construct a big commercial harbor, and who knows, a canal all the way to Jerusalem So, what's next for Palestine? The Hamas, called terrorists today, like the late Begin of Stern gang once was, Tomorrow, Quin Sabe?
