A Literary Magazine

Magazines 
I used to read Readers Digest 
it was like the Fox channel
 before internet 
and we believed yet thought
 something was wrong, 
Israel was great in a sea of hatred
 and the magazine never said 
a thing about Palestine whose land
 was stolen. 
Arabs want to kill Israeli 
Bastards we thought forgetting about 
holocaust   which happened in our
back- yard. But then we grew and 
read books
giving us a different view, yet we 
sensed that being successful we should 
keep our innocence of mind 
we had when reading 
“Readers Digests” and its odd sense
 of humour which we were asked 
to be serious about
