Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Freedom's Cause

 College students let their voices be heard
 As they call for freedom for Palestine
 Putting bodies on the line, their anger stirred
 With determination their hearts and minds entwine
 But the war machine is in full swing
 Of a ceasefire there is no sign
 As more death and sorrow those bombs bring
 But do the powers that be...
 really want freedom for Palestine?

Randy Freie June 3, 2024 at 4:31 AM Wonderful poem Joseph, the powers that be just want to wield power. I don't think they're too concerned for Palestine or any other country that doesn't contribute to their coffers or ideologies.

Victor Buhagiar April 29, 2024 at 2:36 AM The powers that be all indulge in wars, because producing arms is a wealthy enterprise. Superb poem.

Heidi Sands April 27, 2024 at 11:27 AM True the war machine is in full swing. And many are involved multiple places. Hamas shouldn't have attacked Israel either. It's all bad. Well done poem :)....I pray for peace. And we just gave billions more to Ukraine. Ugh

Sotto Poet April 26, 2024 at 11:44 AM Joseph, such an excellent poem that expresses displeasure at the continuing violence and the lack of progress toward a truce while also urging Palestine's freedom.
