The Gaza Lottery

Dear Arthur, This is such a potent penning. I realize that this is a complicated long term conflict but I don't think many are aware of the conditions that people were living with there and I am so appreciative of the insights you have brought with this piece. Blessings and lets pray this genocide ends soon..

Arthur, it's a devastating situation. Many of us have problems with both sides in this war, which should end. A permanent solution could be worked out, but as you point out in your introductory remarks, some people have a sense of entitlement. I suspect it will get worse, but hope sanity will prevail at some point.

I understand this point of view. Sad that they can't reach peace and work it out. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and for dropping by my page. Sara K

The best war..Is to war against war is my offering, I extend my hand metaphorically to You Arthur.' In the hope of better days to come.? If I were to do other I should start by pointing Out my own faults ( which would be time Consuming) so enough put, be well look me up Any time..It won't cost a dime.'

there is so much cruauté in Gaza, i never understood this eternal war, this break my heart so much, thanks for the touching poem ( upsetting ?)

Hello Arthur, you really cut through the layers of illusion and exposes the harsh realities of our world. I loved the juxtaposition of aid and bombs, the portrayal of war as a sinister game of chance, it all speaks to the inherent contradictions of power and privilege. Your poetic words challenge us to confront uncomfortable truths about our complicity in perpetuating injustice. Only by acknowledging the rightful owners of the land and rejecting the fallacy of entitlement can we hope to find true peace. - Blessings, Daniel

Arthur, your poem is a masterful exploration of the devastating effects of war, international power relations, and the aftereffects of colonization and imperialism. The effects of war, especially on those who become victims of the fighting and are caught up in the chaos. Land and resource control and power are also discussed.
