Poem For the Middle East
Wild fighting
and thousands made homeless
or
killed
As the song goes "When will they ever learn?"
I have only been to Israel
Never one of the Arabic or Farsi
speaking nations
Let peace be all the people's wish
in that troubled region
As a poet I suppose I
have little influence there
But to use a Tolkienesque phrase
I - and all of you writers out there in the darkness
Are troubling the counsels of the "wise and the great"
