I am going to be simple for a change, I miss you! A.S. P.S. the poem is beautiful, as is the writer

... just ventured a read ... and that verse was it! GREAT words only stony to the world of beautyfools of agile hypocrites, as death comes laughing at brothers shooting brothers! Dear great Maureen, my wonder poetess, you are at it, AGAIN? Thanks!

Beautifully worded Maureen, but I suppose it depends on what your pen is being used for. It seems to me that this poem is in reference to the recent conflicts in Gaza since you chose "the Chosen"... I'm guessing... I'm going to be seeing a Jewish friend of mine in a few days and he and I will talk. If I'm totally off base on my interpretation of this poem... forgive me. Thanks and hugs

You guessed correctly, specifically the IDF’s strategic targeting of intellectuals. Thank you dear, xomo
