this day's news
Four Hamas hostages were freed today
after a daring raid by the IDF
the jubilation was great to witness
the ethnicity was clearly displayed
The dramatic rescue cost the lives of
hundreds of Palestinians, many of them
children who otherwise could have
become adults and joined the Hamas
68% of Israel's population agree
with Netanyahu's politics of what is
nothing more than murder.
Israel is relentless in their pursuit
of Hamas that mostly kills the innocent
as Hamas is the only group the group
that speaks for Palestine, one thinks
Israel must be considered a terrorist
In the USA where the defense
of Israel's right to defend itself is absolute
we see their youth has caught on
and sees the truth.
To vilify the perceived enemy is all too
common, occupied Russia-speaking part
of Ukraine, a rocket hit a building complex
many civilians killed, we see Ukraine's
the strong man received this news with glee
Let me say although my heart goes to
Gaza, I reserve the right to the Islamic
hateful voice spreading over Europe
Work word magic
Line after line;
Feel poignant purge
To write is risky
Touch of insanity;
Satisfying mood swings
Joy in wild moments
Tragic comedy;
Comic tragedy
Love is
Too busy to know;
Why or when or how
Head cracked from
Too much thinking;
Should feel more somehow
Echoes of eternity
In this instance;
Look and listen
By blue moonlight
Hear stray voices;
Yet nothing stirs
Strangers stand
Side by side squeezed;
Elevator delivers start-ups
Familiar faces
Office building complex;
Lonely in a crowd
Pulse, poise and purr
Black panther and brown tiger;
Two condo cats preside
Evening stroll
To night market;
Time for nothing special
