John Loving Iii Poet I do not know?

Helen Thomas

she couldn't help it 
when she said what she said
she was just a mouth. 
a big o mouth in Washington
a few words before you leave
and those awful words came out

But God gave me an awesome message
while i thought it out. 
I have to send a message
through someone with some clout
someone they say is big enough
and will not have to shout

Oh Isreal,
Remember how they treated you
when you were over there?
But since you have
your country
now you think it's fair?
To come from out of Eygpt
and through the wilderness. 
Shouldn't someone remind you 
"That's how they treated us?"

Debbie Guzzi June 23, 2010 at 3:53 PM John ...Abrahamic religions are religions which share the patriarch Abraham in their religious lineage, although he plays different roles in different Abrahamic religions. Islam, Christianity, and Judaism are all considered to be Abrahamic religions....so yes you ceratinly are more than welcome to write to one of those choices. Thanks for the blog comment!

Doris Culverhouse June 21, 2010 at 4:26 PM How have you been and your family? I am hanging in there! Thanks for your comments.

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 21, 2010 at 3:51 PM Nice write, thought provoking! For me Israel has a divided soul. On the one hand, it is a very capitalistic country and on the other hand, its view is very liberal. I believe the latter is a consequence of the Holocaust; the former is its original character. Thanks for sharing, and thank you for your kind comments on my featured poem. Glad to meet you on Facebook. Caroline.

Carolyn Devonshire June 18, 2010 at 2:15 PM Helen is an icon in Washington and I love the way she always speaks her mind bluntly. You have created a masterful, thought-provoking tribute to Helen, John. Excellent writing! Love, Carolyn PS -- Get me some Eagles' tickets too!

Andrea Dietrich June 7, 2010 at 11:14 PM If this is about what I think it is, yes, I remember when my brother was alive, he felt this way about Israel too. As for that poem of mine you commented on, it was completely made up, like many of my poems are. Never had a dark knight (maybe it would have been kind of cool!)

Doris Culverhouse June 7, 2010 at 6:15 PM good poem!
