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?
