Notes About The Poem

 

 

 

 

And you believe this when they say it? Really?

Character

The Sun rises
as it also sets
days become weeks
time passes
agony grows deep

insulting the oppressed
never forgivable
ambulances blown to bits
exploding people dance in the sky
how much hate
went into those bombs
or was it just indifference?
one can stand with a voice
or sit in silence and preach

I have no hate
nor patience for the those
who screech

Arthur, It's all pretty sad indeed. Plus, it's not in the long-term interest of the Israelis to act this way since there will ultimately be blowback. There always is. Pretty short-sighted beside all the pain and suffering that's difficult to imagine. I keep saying the media should stop blurring the images. We need to see the raw truth of war.

Very true, and thank you for commenting, most care about their own, their own situation, here is easy to see there is little empathy for others, a form of hate called indifference.
