Palestine Poem

See no evil... The blood spattered floors Settlers smashing down doors Children manhandled and arrested Peaceful folk, patience being tested Rogue nation hell bent on genocide Laws don’t apply, only for others to abide Hear no evil... The cries of Palestine Born into oppression, their crime Gunfire, bombs raining down Death and despair in which they drown Screams of anger, screams of rage Nowhere to hide, trapped in their cage Missiles screech, another family dies Tyrants on tv, with the same old lies Speak no evil... World leaders, many tongues are held Silence is defending, as innocence are shelled Support for the oppressor they shout Quiet now about freedom they usually spout

One question, Amar. Has Hamas bombed Israel? P.S. I am sympathetic with the plight of the Palestinians, but, I wonder if they have been resistant to compromise and to learning how to co-exist?
