Man Was Made To Mourn

If you can but see,
the height of desperation
where death is deemed more desirable
than the pitiable plights of
the people of Palestine.

Why no one in this momentous time
call out the names of the killers?

The wantonness of the world
The inhumanity of man
The gullibility of gods
The irrationality of religions
The impotency of prayers
The prostitution of justice;.

O the children of Palestine,
You are haunted 
by the ghosts from your future
writing it in blood,
Where does one go to seek
the salve for the suffering souls?

First I had faith
but had no god,
and when I found god
I lost my faith!
